Hi peeps, happy Thursday! You know what that means...another Inspired By challenge! Here's my take on today's photo inspiration:
And here's Laurel's pretty prompt!! I love this...it's similar to what I have in my very own kitchen!
I started by using the Global Design Project sketch:
I stamped the Buffalo Check background stamp on some Naturals White cardstock, added a Basic Black mat that had been diecut with the little stitched scallop die from the Be Mine dies, and then cut a couple of leaves from Crumb Cake:
I sponged the top layer with some Craft White ink, and added some "sprigs" of Old Olive. I used a Tim Holtz brick embossing folder for the background panel and burlap ribbon for the horizontal panel. I experimented with a couple of diecut sentiments but I didn't really like any of them, so in the end, I went with a Concord and 9th diecut:
It all went on a Crumb Cake card base! Such a pretty scene...there are lots of elements you could pull from this one, and I hope whatever you make, you share it with us at Inspired By!! Thanks for popping in today!! Enjoy it and be blessed!

Oh it's lovely LeAnne! I love the black and white check against the brickwork and the little leafy bundle is the perfect embellishment. I've already told myself I have to stop craft shopping but a brick embossing folder doesn't count does it? I mean, that's a basic surely! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, this is FABULOUS! I love the embossed backgrounders, the buffalo checks and that gorgeous leaf die! The Old Olive leaves just make it all pop! The burlap ribbon is the perfect finishing touch! WOW, My Friend! You rocked this challenge! XX
