Can you believe January's almost over? Time just seems to slip away, much too quickly. I have a card to show you! My friend Marie started an inspiration challenge over at her blog, From Boots to Stamps. Here is her source of inspiration, from the Behr paint website:
I am a huge earthy colors girl. I want this room! Even though it uses such a bold color (which looks to me like Dusty Durango, by the way), it seems like the perfect place to relax. I just love all of the patterns here! I also used this week's Mojo Monday sketch for my card.
You can see that I pulled inspiration from the colors in the picture, and I am so in love with those pillows! I used a stamp from the Circle Circus stamp set and heat-embossed it with White Embossing Powder to re-create the pattern. I also heat-embossed the Chocolate Chip panel with the Sweet Swirls wheel. The finished card measures 5-1/4" square, a perfect fit for our Medium Square Envelopes.
I invite you to play along! Please visit Marie's blog and check out the other creations on Stampin' Addicts as well!
