This week’s Pals Paper Arts Challenge is an Inspiration Challenge which means you look at a certain picture and create whatever it inspires you to do. They chose a beautiful fall picture from pottery barn.
To me, this speaks of Fall in an elegant way. I love the colors together! So inspired by this I decided to make an elegant fall card. Here is what I came up with:
Stamps: Medallion
Ink: More Mustard, Always Artichoke, Really Rust
Paper: More Mustard, Always Artichoke,Very Vanilla
Other: Always Artichoke 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon, Fresh Favorites Button (Always Artichoke)
To create the multi-colored stamped image, I first inked up the medallion stamp with More Mustard. Then I used my sponge daubers to add Always Artichoke and Really Rust to it. I love how it came out! I threaded a tiny sliver of More Mustard card stock through the button to finish it off.
Perfect fall colors in the medallion. I always love to see how people stamp with – very pretty!
I love how you inked up the stamp! The colors are perfect for the inspiration photo! Thanks for playing @ PPA!
Love the colors on the medallion. Great card, Yapha!

What a great idea to sponge the colors on this stamp. Love it!
This medallion background stamp is probably my favorite stamp in the latest catalog. I love the colors and the technique used on this card!
