What Gives You Inspiration?

Hey Everybody,

Our challenge today is an inspiration challenge. The website was Ethan Allen. I chose the triangle hanging lights on the main page found here.

I put my white paper in the embossing folder on an angle. The embossing folder I used is a Stampin' Up! folder called, Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder. I used a yellow Copic Marker to draw the lines. I pulled the pecan pie ink pad across the debossed side of the card to get the brown color above the yellow lines.

I stamped the image and sentiment in Memento tuxedo black ink then colored the image with Copic Markers. The image doesn't have the little shirt, so I drew it on the little guy. The image is a stamp from Unity Stamps called, Thought of You Today. I fussy cut the image and sentiment with scissors. I added the image and sentiment with dimensionals. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

I think finding inspiration from websites is a different way of getting ideas for card making. I must admit, I don't do it except for this challenge, but I might start!  Sometimes it's overwhelming to see a website or Pinterest site of images. I get lost in looking, especially on Pinterest where they have little things for sale that are distracting and cute! LOL

Maybe it's easier to look around your house and find something that inspires you to make a card or scrapbook page. That's what I did when I made 6" x 6" pages of Mia Sunshine. I saw pictures of her hanging on the wall and thought I could make some cute pages that would record what she's doing at this time in her little life.

See what you think.

Well, now that I see these again, it reminds me that my little Silas was 5 months old the other day and I haven't done one page of a scrapbook for him! Yikes, I better get going or he'll be graduating before I know it!

Hey, the stamp I used for today's card would be great on a page for Silas! Woohoo, I've started it already! LOL

Thanks for stopping by today.

Blessings,

Sue
