Good morning, everyone!When I saw this beautiful photograph, this week's Inspiration Challenge from Utah Divas International, I knew just what I wanted to do with it!
You can see the inspriration photo on your left ...
And here's my interpretation on the right!
What fun! I used Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Real Red, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White Cardstocks.
The stamp set is Greenhouse GardenThe Inks are Melon Mambo, Summer Sun, Lavender Lace and Black Stazon.
The punches are Modern Label, Ornament and Wide Oval. Chop off tops and/or bottoms to make vases. I sponged Melon Mambo Ink on the edges of each of them and then mounted them over the stamped stems with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I also used the Scallop Trim Border Punch on the bottom along with 5/8" Real Red Satin Ribbon and 1/4" Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain Ribbon.
I said it before, but what fun!
Where will you find inspiration this week?
Love your take on the inspiration. Beautiful card and very clever use of the punches for vases!
