This week's SCS Inspiration challenge comes from something we see around us every day … Kleenex boxes. I actually asked a co-worker to save her Kleenex box for me when it was empty because I think it will be fun to die cut it into some fun flowers. Each time I buy Kleenex, I always think to myself … that would make a cool card. So today, I'm challenging you to use those designs to inspire you.
My card is inspired by this oval Kleenex holiday wreath design. I love the colors, the snowy background, and all of the circles on the wreath design.
I started by using two circles punches to create my wreath base (punch the smaller circle first, and then position the larger stamp over the opening to create a paper donut). then I used three other shades of green cardstock scraps and four sizes of circle punches to create my design.
The card base was stamped with CHF Polka Dot backgrounder in PTI Fresh Snow. To give it more of a snow-like appearance, I used a fun new product from Colorsnap called Smooch Moonlight pearlized accent ink. I also dotted the ink on my wreath before adding a purple ribbon and a Michael's $1 sentiment.
I hope you find inspiration.
Love how you created your wreath-pretty card. tfs
