The Card Concept 109

Hey Friends, We have such a cute inspiration photo challenge for you this week at The Card Concept 109!  It just so happened I had the fabulous birthday paper with the paper fans on it that matched the photo. 

I heat embossed my Avery Elle pineapple in gold powder and water colored it with zig markers. I fussy cut out because I don't have the dies. The sentiment is from the same set which I heat embossed in white. 

To put it together I dry embossed a white card stock panel with a star embossing folder, added a doodlebug doily and some enamel hearts.

I hope you come play along with us. You can choose what ever inspires you from the photo!

Thanks for visiting today!

The Card Concept 108

Hey Friends, welcome to the new The Card Concept 108 challenge! It's almost Valentine's Day so this inspiration photo should come in handy to get some cards done! It can work for other love related cards too. 

I tried to have large bold elements on my card like the pillows in the photo. For my clean and layered card I kept it mostly free of clutter and tried to have just one large focal point. I thought about it later that I could have sponged on Antique Linen Distress ink and roughed up the edges to make it Shabby Chic/Vintage. 

 The stamp set is Simon Says Stamp "Really like you'. I heat embossed the sentiment in clear powder over VersaFine Black ink. The background paper is from a 2012 line of crate paper I believe. I added a doily and bow and called it done.
