We have an Inspiration Photo Challenge for you this month. I received an email from Pier1 at the beginning of the year and fell in love with the colors and patterns in this photo.
See what I mean?!? I love the pillow design and the touches of gold, so I added those elements to my layout. (I apologize for the coloring in the photo. The gold in the "Love" title reflected color onto the background. I didn't notice until I uploaded the photo to edit.)
I pulled out several retired products from my stash to use along with a few current products. The three main colors are Sapphire, Glacier, and Sorbet. Have you figured out how I created my flowers and leaves yet?
The flowers are die cut from a combination of a stitched scallop edge die and a stitched oval die. I cut the scallop first, then positioned the oval to turn it into a flower. The leaves use the Stitched Quilted Shapes Thin Cuts. I added a stitched look to the stems with one of the Stitched Border Thin Cuts.
Some of the dies only pierce the stitch marks (the images without grey shadowing in the photo above). I used the die with the three loops toward the bottom of the photo and fussy cut the center loop for the leaves. This was a great way to use up scraps!
Thanks for hopping by today! Hop over to Lisa's Blog and Donna's Blog to see what they created for you, then over to the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge. We hope you play along!
