It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC904) & I chose Playing Card Decks & their Pinterest Board. I was thinking..hmm April Fool’s Day which led me to Joker which led me to Playing Cards & here we are. I selected THIS pretty deck as my inspiration. It’s a poppy but it reminded me of this pretty new floral set which may or may not be a hibiscus but it looks like one from above & that’s my story & I’m sticking to it.

Originally I had colored this in pinks but I went back in & added some reds to change it up. (You can see the original pink color in the Copics pic below.)  I die cut 2 white layers & backed them w/ peach layers. The hibiscus was fussy cut & it and the top layer were popped up a bit.

It’s an easy card since I let the layers do all the work.

Here are the Copics I used:

A big congrats to Erin, the newest Featured Stamper (FS841)! She has such a lovely little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the pretty wreath & most of the colors, but made mine a thank you card, used a stamped wreath & designer paper for the background instead of a lattice.

My rose wreath was stamped first w/ Memento & I left it in the Misti. I used the 4 part stencil to sponge the color in on the roses & leaves then I overstamped it w/ Versaclair nocturne to get the very dark outline. I knew the Versaclair might smear if I stamped it first, so that’s why I added it last. After it was die cut, I added dimensional foam to the back of it. I also elevated the sage green panel a bit after I stamped the greeting onto it.

The lovely paper was cut into a frame using 2 sizes of the stitched rectangles & I also added 2 layers of heavy card behind it to lift it up. Some stickies was added to the flower centers & little berries around the wreath.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC902), we’re visiting The Kitchen Store & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture.

My card is not hard..just a lot of die cutting & paper piecing. This lovely paper is double sided & I used both sides to create the pots & vases. On the pink pots, I used a flower die to cut the marbled side & attached them  on top. I attached all the pots, vases & watering can onto the cobalt blue background. The greeting was stamped vertically onto a mini slimline layer.

The largest, central pot & watering can were popped up on top of the others.
