I was downstairs stressing out playing in my stamp area earlier and decided to clean my desk the unconventional way. I would take bits and pieces that I came across on my desk and make a card with them. Soooo first I saw the green banner on the floor. That would be my inspiration. I found this piece of patterned paper in a corner of desk and remembered that the Cupcake Inspiration challenge was bunting. Great! The Verve Inspiration colors were orange and green and blue, and since I had those colors in the paper I started to look around for Verve stamps, but then I saw Waddles and decided he looked bunting-ish, so I went with him instead. After coloring him up with Spectrum Noir markers, adding some gel pen accents and cutting him out, I tried to decide how I wanted to add the sentiment. Blue banner? No - looks too sad. Orange banner? No - looks too loud. Then I saw the sand scalloped circle in a little pile of diecuts. Perfect! I cut a coordinating circle of ivory cardstock, stamped my greeting and added a few heart enamel dots. I decided to keep the card super simple, so I just layered my banner on orange cardstock and attached it to an ivory base.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
