Check Out Our Inspiration Photo For This Week!
Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. We made the announcement a few weeks ago that I am now part of a new venture, partnering with Connie Babbert. I hope you will enjoy our lineup of blog posts and projects all week long. I’ll explain what each post is about so you’ll know what’s coming up each week and each month!
Inspiration Monday is weekly where Connie & I create a project by using an inspiration photo. This week’s inspiration is this beautiful plant photo:
I chose to replicate the photo using the plant pots and this is what I came up with:
The detail on all of the stamp images is so beautiful. I filled each pot with different leaves using different colors. Can you picture this on your windowsill?

Beautiful card.
Debbie. I cased your sponged on color with simple black flower. I love it! I think I’ll use that technique with my stampers this month. I used bubble bath, flirty flamingo and poppy parade
