Isn't this a beautiful inspiration board. I wonder where the folks at Double D get them? Well I was inspired by all of them, but chose the one on the lower left. My card is done with two different stamps that I have had, and have not yet used. As soon as I saw this board, I knew that I would be using them some how in this challenge.
Here is what I came up with.
I stamped the Art Impression stamp Windows to the World in the inside of the card. It is a cute scene of a little cottage surrounded by trees and a lovely gate, with flowers in the foreground. On the front of the card, I stamped the Altenew flower swag called, Recollections. I used the colors that inspired my from the inspiration photo. I cut out a window so that you can view the cottage scene inside. I stamped the sentiment from the Altenew set. I really love this sentiment and strive to live it. Lastly I sponged some Distressed Ink on the bottom. I think I need to blend it more.
I am entering this to the Double D Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by, your comments brighten my day.
