JAI #213: AN INSPIRATION PIC

This week's challenge at Just Add Ink is to use a gorgeous inspiration pic, suggested by Nikki, to create a papercraft project.  It's a very pretty, chevron-y, challenge!

 

 

I took inspiration from the cushions, and used stamps with similar patterns to create gold-embossed designs on Whisper White card.   The light in my craft room is severely compromised (awaiting replacement of 3 out of 4 fluorescent tubes!), but I assure you the patterns on my squares are actually gold. :)

STAMPIN' UP! HAPPY CONGRATULATIONS MEETS ZOO BABIES

As soon as I saw the Happy Congratulations stamp set in Stampin' Up!'s Occasions Catalogue, I knew it would have to join my stamp collection.  It's a lovely little set with sweet 'lanterns' that can be stamped, or punched out of patterned paper with a 3/4" circle punch.

Here's a simple, but rather sweet (I think!) baby card I made.  My colour choices were decided by the gorgeous polka-dot paper from the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (also from the Occasions Catalogue).
