Happy Thursday, peeps! The end of the week is approaching, yay! It's time for another Inspired By challenge, and I just got stalled on this one! I ended up doing what I normally do when I can't come up with an idea...I just throw some elements together randomly, maybe keeping a cohesive shape or theme, and that's what I did today! You can see I used the square from the Stitched Shapes dies in different patterns and colors:
So let's look to see what stumped me:
A gorgeous table setting, right?! Don't those lemons and greenery look amazing! They DO...but I have NO lemon stamps, nothing even close!! Hence my random elements! I used some retired SU DSPs, some gifted DSP, a retired set for a sentiment, and some little embellishments on each square. It's all mounted on an polka-dotted embossed mat, which is mounted on a 4 1/4" square Daffodil Delight card:
I didn't center the design to give it a little edgy look....in the end, I like it! Hope you'll find something in that challenge photo that will inspire you!! Hope you share it with us, too! See you at Inspired By!
A busy day...both Cassidy and Eden were worn out:
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

You do YOU so beautifully, LeAnne! plus you've given all of our card players a way to play along when lemons aren't to be found in one's stash!
ReplyDeleteLOve your paper choices and can easily spot them in the IB photo! Besides... start with a favorite embossing folder and everything just falls into place, I say!

Aww, what a sweet picture of Miss Cassidy & Eden napping! That is sure to make you smile! Loved your card today, LeAnne! I also love how your mind works when it comes to creating! Love all the little elements used on this and even though you had nothing with lemons I love how you pulled in the bright yellow to represent the lemon! It all came together nicely! :)
ReplyDeleteThis has the most charming country feel to it LeAnne, it's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to tackle that photo inspiration without a lemon - it certainly doesn't come across as a collection of random bits!
