...Inspiration Challenge #209

Please scroll down to see my project for today's Crazy 4 Challenges!

This is my submission for today's Inspiration Challenge #209 at SCS. It seems like forever since I've had a chance to play along with any of their challenges lately, so it feels great to jump back in there! We were to find something in the Charm Lady Boutique to draw inspiration from, and I chose the charm seen above. I loved the reds, corals, and white in this piece...it is simply stunning! I used the heart border stamp from Verve's "Thankful Hearts" to create my own patterned paper on the coral panel, then added a white border that had been punched with the Fiskar's Threading Water Border Punch. I cut and embossed the white focal panel with the Labels Three Nestabilities Die and the Sizzix Big Shot. To create the large coral heart on the panel, I punched out the heart shape in a scrap piece of cardstock using the Full Heart Punch. I used the negative space left in the scrap piece as a stencil, then sponged coral ink into it using a Sponge Dauber. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in red in the center of the sponged heart. I added a small red cardstock heart that was punched out using the Heart to Heart Punch. The completed panel was attached to the coral panel using Dimensionals, and a piece of 1" Real Red Stitched Ribbon was added. That completed panel was added to the Kraft Cardstock base using Dimensionals.

That's it for me today! Thanks for stopping, and I will see you all again tomorrow! Until then...
