Happy Thursday, everyone! Laurel has a pretty inspiration photo for us today at Inspired By; here's my take on it:
And here is her prompt...so pretty!
In hindsight, I wish I hadn't used a Basic Gray card base for my card...it makes the whole creation a bit dark, but it's already in the mail, so hopefully the recipient will enjoy it nonetheless! I don't have many big flower images, the only one I could find was from Beautiful Day, so I stamped it in Stazon ink on thick white cardstock, added a wee bit of shading with Melon Mambo, and colored the leaves with Shaded Spruce, then cut it out:
I added some diecut florals from Beautiful Bouquets and the matching die, Bouquet Bunch, as well as some greenery from Botanical Tags, then liberally covered it with Wink of Stella!! I had an extra diecut left, so I added it to my inside sentiment:
And the sketch I used is from Hand Stamped Sentiments:
Thanks for popping in today! I hope you'll share your lovely floral creations with us at Inspired By this week!
15 minutes in the car, and she's plumb tuckered out!

I think your card is beautiful with the Basic Gray cardbase! It makes your pretty flowers pop and it definitely looks just like the inspiration photo! Great job, LeAnne! Awww, Miss Cassidy! She must not have been able to keep her peepers open any longer! TFS and have a great day! :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, and, once again, your fussing cutting is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI think the gray is a perfect compliment to the bright pinks! I like all those pretty flowers and tiny stems and especially the embossing that looks so plush! Chuckling at Miss Cassidy - reading all those books must have sent her right into dream world LOL Too cute :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, LeAnne! Love your pretty flower and the color combination is perfectly done! Thank you for playing with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments and hope you will join us again soon.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the gray at all LeAnne, it looks lovely with the pretty pinks! Isn't it amazing the positions kids can sleep in. We old folks wouldn't be able to move our necks for days after a nap like that!!
ReplyDeleteI like the gray too, it looks great with the pink. And I love the big flowere and am always looking for ways to use them. Great idea and so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou nailed the challenges....I love pink and gray! And I love how kids sleep....lol..
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous rich looking card for both challenges - I do like that embossing folder you used. Thanks for joining us at HSS this week.
ReplyDeleteFantastic LeAnne! You skillfully mixed stamps and accessories to make this beautiful card that looks just like the inspiration! I absolutely love the embossed panel! Thanks for playing along with us at HSS!
