An Inspiration Challenge at the House

 

Talk about a 'Challenge'. Well the new challenge over at

The House that Stamps Built really threw me.

After lots of thinking I came up with

  

 

for this

 

 
 

I didn't have a Repeat Impression stamp that I thought

suited the leaves in the picture so went to an image from DoCrafts

 as I wanted to depict the dark leaves and the colours

of the background. I also wanted to add a butterfly.
I started with basic card stock.
For my background I stamped the leaf image
several time from Stampin' Up Inspired by Nature
onto brown card stock.
I inked up Tim Holtz Vintage Photo
Tea Dye & Antique Linen
and Memento Desert Sand
 for the background of my floral image
which was heat embossed and coloured in black.
This was cut from Spellbinders Labels 20
and again I inked the edges.
I wanted a bit of shimmer so sprayed my card
with SU Champagne Mist & PearlEx in Antique Gold
Added a butterfly from Cheery Lynn
Some rhinestones and a sentiment from
Gina K Designs cut from JustRite Labels.

In the end I was happy with how I
interpreted the photo. Hope you liked it too.

Thanks for dropping in.
