Hello all.  I was finally able to complete my card for the inspiration challenge on splitcoast stampers.  It was IC171 – Fitz & Floyd, and what I found as inspiration was this beautiful set of pottery.

I just loved the colors and the vine/flower design.  It took a while for me to decide how to get the look I wanted but this is what I came up with.\

I used my brayer and some So Saffron and More Mustard ink to created the gradient type background.  It wasn’t very smooth, but I’m not a Brayer Master either.  So the vine is cut out and the flowers & leaves were stamped, colored and cut out.  I altered the scallops along the top edge and mounted the whole front piece on Chocolate Chip card stock.  The card base is Riding Hood Red.

I used the flowers and leaves from “Time Well Spent” and the sentiment from “Summer by the Sea”.  Overall I was really pleased with it.  This is not how I normally would make a card, but it was a fun process and a great change of pace.

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Stamping!
