Good Saturday Morning Peeps!
It is time for a new challenge on the Our Creative Corner Blog.
This week Kristen is our challenge hostess and she has a fun challenge for us-Copenhagen - It's a wonderful, old, enchanting city! Here are some photos for inspiration, the catch is you can't use any pre-printed papers so bust out all your stamps!
She also gave us these pictures for inspiration:
I am sure you can tell which picture inspired me, I love them all but went with the boats, so I could use my little Stampin' Up "Sail Away" stamp.
I also used the card on pg. 11 of the Summer Mini for some inspiration too.
I started my card with a base of Crumb Cake and then followed that with some Early Espresso and then the main image was dome on water color paper. I used Not Quite Navy, Chocolate Chip and Cherry Cobbler ink to color the image.
I added a strip of Not Quite Navy card stock that I embossed with the square lattice EF. The big button is from the retired Deck the Halls button pack and I used some Early Espresso bakers twine in the button.
The Sentiment flag is made with a stamp from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set. I used just the "hello" part and inked it three times with the three card colors and stamped using the stamp a ma jig to line them up. I added a couple of cherry cobbler brads to the top.
Be sure to check the Our Creative Corner Blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with for this fun challenge. I hope you can find some time to play along and if you do don't forget to link it up over on the Our Creative Corner Blog so we can all see it!
Thanks for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!
