Inspired by Stamping Challenge #51

Inspired by Stamping offers an inspiration challenge every Thursday (Queensland, Australia time). The challenge lasts for one week, then a new photo is revealed! Here is the photo/color combination for this week's challenge!


Love these bold, bright colors!


 I did some "vault diving" to find this green and orange paper. The background paper was really cream, but I rubbed some orange chalk ink over it, and ta-da!


I stamped a sentiment from the Beautiful Iris set and cut it out with a circle die template. I made a bouquet with various paper flowers that I found in my stash.


I also poked around in my die template stash and found a few items that I forgot I had, like this Spellbinders scallop edger die and the fancy shaped die behind my sentiment (Spellbinders Iron Work Accents). I have so much stuff that it's like shopping when I go digging around!


I stamped a sentiment from the Flowers Bloom set on the inside of the card. 


One randomly selected winner this week will receive a $15 gift card to the Inspired by Stamping Store! To be eligible to win, please follow the rules below.



There is an extra challenge for March: Play along in the customer blog hop and create a card using the chalkboard technique! Click HERE for details.

Now, come and play along with the team!

Basic rules of the challenge: Please use the colors in our photo as your main colors.

  2. Wow. The thing that makes this incredibly gorgeous card work is your brilliant choice of a muted background paper with slight orange/rust tones. It just makes the whole card sing. I LOVE it!
