An Inspired Thanks

This beautifully colored home office from Country Living was our inspiration challenge on SCS this week. Here is the card I created from it.

I was inspired by the bumpy pillow on the chair, the flowers on the wall and the colors of raspberry, chocolate and avocado throughout. (Sorry - My picture came out a little brighter than IRL and the brown ribbon looks really dark - but you get the idea!)

I used Taylor's Friday Sketch for my card.

The flower and sentiment are from a Papertrey Ink set called Every Day Classics that you cannot buy (sorry!) - I earned it by ordering at least 12 sets from them last year. (Yikes !) I stamped the flower 3 times and cut out pieces and layered them using foam dimensionals. The wonderful leaf is from the Papertrey set Friends Til the End. I curled each leaf and attached it to the card at the ends to give some dimension to them.

I got some gardening done today at my son's condo - April invited me to help her pick out flowers that would be good for a little spot they have outside their kitchen window. We weeded, edged, planted and mulched! Now I need to tackle the rest of my own gardens - well, maybe tomorrow!
