Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Monday! I hope your weekend went well and you enjoyed doing something you love. Me? I made cards, finished a few Crochet projects and watched Western Movies (I love John Wayne and Clint Eastwood).
Today begins a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog, where you take your inspiration from a photo prompt and tell us how the photo inspired your design. This months' prompt is:
I came across the Pears and Pomegranates Stamp, Die and Washi Tape Sets from Pink Fresh Studio. For my card, I've used the Washi Tape and Coordinating Dies to create the pretty fruit die cuts.
I've cut 2 panels, one in gold mirror card and the other in a rust color that matched the pomegranates. The gold panel was cut using the Hemstitch Rectangle Die from Spellbinders, the rust panel was embossed with the Tile Reflection 3-D Embossing folder from Spellbinders.
The sentiment, from the Pears and Pomegranates Stamp set, was stamped and heat embossed using Copper Fine embossing power, cut with the coordinating die and popped on foam pads. The washi tape die cuts were arranged and some were lifted on foam pads for extra dimension. Lastly, iridescent sequins from the stash were added as a finishing touch.
The team and I hope you'll join us this month and share your inspired projects. We love seeing all the creativity and inspiration. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Gorgeous shine off that gold mirror cardstock. The fruit panels are perfect. Wonderful card. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our October theme of "Anything Goes"
ReplyDeleteDonna what a gorgeous card... love the gold and red background framing for your beautiful Pomegranates. Pomegranates are very popular here in Arizona and my daughter has a plant that provides lotsa pomegranates... the seeds in a green salad really perk up a salad. I see a lot of recipes in your card; but can you put next to our link in your post the 3-2-1 recipe you used for your pretty card, maybe layers, colors and images? Thanks for sharing your Inspiration Station card with us at Double Trouble.
