IB125 Sitting Pretty

Hi stampers!  It's Thursday, and time for a new Inspired By challenge!  Check out this fun photo and optional sketch:

Aren't those chairs cute, hanging on the wall with their little vignettes of plants and books?!  Well, cute as they are, I have nothing chair-related in my vast stamping stash, so I opted for colors!  So here we go:

My first step was to diecut a piece of white cardstock with CTMH's Multi Circle Windows die; the die actually cuts twelve circles, so I turned the panel sideways and trimmed off a row on each side.  I used the bird die from Well Written and diecut it in several colors to match the challenge photo, but they looked a little blah, so to amp up the color, I stamped each one with a gingham stamp from Papertrey, then popped them up in the circles:

To mimic the greenery, I diecut a few sprigs of Garden Green with the Nature's Thoughts dies and sponged them with some white ink to soften them a bit, then created a thick diecut "friend" from the same Well Written die:

It all went on a panel of gray weatherboard DSP from Honeybee's The Bees Knees 6x6 pad.  All these colors just make me smile!!  I hope you'll find some inspiration to play along with us too!  Share your creation at Inspired By with us this week!

We have had this little doe, and sometimes a couple of her friends, come out into the field just beyond our yard several times over the last week; she doesn't seem to be afraid of being out in the open!  Or maybe she's checking out John's newly-planted garden?!  Hmmm....better keep an eye on her!

Thanks for stopping in today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
