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. :)

 

 

 

 

Stamps: Betsy's Blossoms, Polka Builder Wheel, Positively Chevron, Happy Congratulations, Memorable Moments

Card:  Brushed Gold, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette

Ink: Versamark inkpad, Pink Pirouette stampin' pad

Other: Chevron embossing folder, Gold Stampin' Emboss powder, 1 1/4" Circle punch, 1 3/8" Circle punch, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch, Squares Collection framelits, Pink Pirouette taffeta ribbon, glue dots, stampin' dimensionals

STAMPIN' UP! PETITE PETALS FOR SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY

The challenge at Seize the Birthday is to make a birthday card, with the added option of using chevrons on the card.

I've been wanting to break out my new Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper stack, and decided today was the day.  Love the gorgeous colours in these papers.  The chevron patterned paper is the reverse of the paper that's on the top part of my card.  I also stamped (faintly) with my Positively Chevron background stamp, on the sentiment panel.  Here's what I made:

Stamps: Petite Petals, Petal Parade, Positively Chevron, Express Yourself

Card: Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White

DSP: Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper stack

Ink: Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Crub Cake stampin' pads

Other: Petite Petals punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig, On Film framelits, Brights candy dots, Neutrals candy dots, sponge dauber, Coastal Cabana stretch ruffle trim, Paper Piercing tool, Essentials paper-piercing pack
