This week’s SCS Inspiration Challenge are the wonderful umbrellas from Marimekko. The challenge was suggested by Stampin’ Annie.
One of my best friends was an exchange student from Finland during our senior year of high school (hey Päivi!), so I have always had a special place in my heart the wonderful style of Finnish designers.
The Cuttelbug Floral Screen was embossed on shimmering cardstock from DCWV Luxury Stack. ColorBox Chalk Chestnut Roan ink was applied directly to the paper by holding the ink pad horizontal (to keep any of the ink from dipping into the de-bossed floral screen design) and clear embossed. The Outlines Be Inspired sentiment was stamped and clear embossed on the same DP.
For the floral element in the umbrella design, I attached a variety of Primas with brown brad centers with glue dots down the left side.
I hope you find inspiration.
Oh yes!!! Inspiration found!! That is amazing! I can’t believe how closely your card matches the fabric of the umbrella…and I just got that embossing folder!! I will have to use my new inspiration!!!
