It's a wet and miserable day here in the UK but I've been to the gym and am raring to go! Today I'm sharing a card that was inspired by a couple of challenges:
That mood board at Just Us Girls looked so inviting and actually was just what I needed to help me with the current SUO Challenges CASE The Catalogue Challenge - take a look at what I came up with and I'll explain all:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
I've had this Cable Knit embossing folder for ages, but I rarely use it - that inspo photo at Just Us Girls gave me the perfect opportunity though to make it the main base for my card - isn't it great? I inked up one of the leaves in the retired Gorgeous Leaves bundle with a mix of warm yellows and browns to tuck in behind my mug - and I even managed to find a stamp with a 'Boo' and a tiny ghost (from the retired Thinking Thanks & Peace stamp set) to decorate the aperture on the mug:
I also took the opportunity to CASE the card on the left of the SUO Challenge photo. I focused on the layout and the various elements: an embossed background, a panel of DSP and a banner with ribbon trim, along with two elements and a sentiment on a circle tucked behind - I actually used one of the stamps in the retired 'Warm Hugs' stamp set which complements the overall theme of my card. Finally a sprinkle of enamel dots complete my cosy card.
Another of those cards that makes the most of retired bits and pieces and not quite my usual style, but it was fun to make for sure.
Enjoy your day; I am meeting one of my besties for coffee this afternoon - we haven't see each other for a few months, so have lots to catch up on - then I'm off to the theatre tonight to see the comedian Sir Lenny Henry, which will I'm sure be a show full of laughs! I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
