For the Inspiration Challenge (IC799), we’re headed to Homebnc Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture.

On my card, I’m using some new dies & greetings from Rubbernecker Stamps. I first die cut the large pot our of an alcohol ink bg. It’s a little hard to tell, but it’s pretty shiny & metallic in real life. The stems of all the flowers were cut out of a few greens & the flowers were all cut out of white that sponged different pastel colors of ink on to get all the colors. The bg was cut w/ a couple of slimline dies & I placed a larger turquoise layer behind them. To get the inside frame, I cut the white piece twice, using 2 sizes of the die set, then put middle (frame part) back.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For my card, after stamping & coloring, I die cut the dahlias, using my out of the box technique on the left side. The matching dies will let you cut out the flower heads separately, but since I already had them arranged, I did this way so I could have them still part of the white panel. For the black dotty panel, I wanted some black & white paper but didn’t have any that was just right. So…I took a piece of black & embossed it w/ folder that has 2 sizes of dots. Then I took out my Japanese screw punch & used 2 sizes of bits to drill out the embossed dots. Having the pattern already embossed, made it really easy & quick. Here’s a pic showing the process.

The greeting was white embossed on a small black strip.

Here are the Copics I used for these beautiful dahlias.

For my Christmas card, I die cut the slimline scallop die, took the center pieces out, then put the frame part into my Misti & stamped the diagonal stripe w/ red ink. Then I die cut all the reindeer, birds & gnomes in different colors & put them all together. I added a red layer behind the candy stripe front & popped up the gnome couple & reindeer.

Here are the Copics I used on the reindeer. I forgot to stick in the G19 I used on the scarf of the reindeer on the left.
