This week's Inspiration Challenge at SplitcoastStampers is to go back through your Forgotten *Favorites* Gallery and find a card to inspire you.
Before the days of blogs (hard to imagine I know), SplitcoastStampers and magazines were my primary sources of creative inspiration. It was interesting to go back through my gallery and try to remember why I had saved some of the cards ... and others were still very timely after all of these years. I chose this card by UKJem as my inspiration ... I loved how she created the tiny layered tiles to feature a small flower stamp.
I started by stamping and cutting apart 3 Flower window from Stampotique by Maryse Carrier (one of the first stampers I saw on the Carol Duval show years ago). Next I found my vintage crimper and started creating my tiles (I'm doing a lot of hand-cutting lately since my paper cutter is on the fritz, and I'm waiting for repair parts to arrive).
I combined three shades of purple with light blue and added some enamel dots to decorate my tiles. The sentiment is vintage (aka discontinued) Hero Arts.
Nice case! Like the colors and flower images. The crimped paper and purple behind your sweet flower panels looks terrific. :)
