Hi stampers! This is a very special Thursday at Inspired By! Today we're having company! Yep, we've each asked a guest stamper to stamp with us! You can see all the DT and their friends over at the IB blog...be sure to pop over and give them some love! But first, let's look at our inspiration photos...fall and the holidays, both gorgeous:
My guest is the oh-so-sweet Linda Callahan! I have met Linda a couple of times at SU conventions and she is a delight! She's fun to be around and an awesome stamper to boot! She chose the first photo for her card and look at this stunner:
She nailed it! I feel like I could reach right out and take a bite from one of those apples! Yum! I chose to use the second photo inspiration for my card; that little galvanized bucket with the Christmas trees on it was calling my name:
It's hard to tell, but the gray elements are my card are actually Brushed Silver cardstock; I stamped the (very old) Cornish Heritage Farms sentiment in Stazon ink and used elements from the Sparkle of the Season bundle to create my wreath:

LeAnne, Your card turned out way better than mine! I should have stuck with pinecones instead of trying to make babies breath. LOL Love your checked bow and fun greeting! Really awesome job! I would play cards with you any day! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLinda happens to be one of MY favorite peeps in all of blogland, LeAnne! She and I share a pun-y sense of humor - but the two of you share a talent for card making that knows no bounds!
ReplyDeleteLOve both cards for endless reasons! Your buffalo check, and Linda's brilliantly colored apples, to name just a few!

Both cards are so beautiful! Love the delicious apples and design, such a treat to open an envelope and pull this card out! And that wreath has stolen my heart with those adorable pinecones and leaves, show-stopping!
