Have you checked out the all-new challenges over at Inspired By Stamping lately? There is a new color challenge every week, and the inspiration pictures are simply amazing!
This week, we are playing with Off White, Light Brown and Red:
I am in love with the card I made (shameful!) and will probably hold on to it for a while, before giving it away.
I used pretty little flowers from Inspired By Stamping to top my bow, and a sentiment from Mason Jar Add-On II.
The gorgeous papers are from a Swedish company, Maja Designs. Their full line is very difficult to get here in the USA, but when I met with my friend Andrea recently, she let me cut into her stash. (Thank you SO much, Andrea!)
Come play with us! Link up your card HERE. You do not need to use IBS products to play. :-)
Thank you for coming by today!
