This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge comes from the fabulous glass creations of Daniel Maher Stained Glass … I am particularly inspired by what he calls his Housewares Graveyard pieces. My card inspired by Green Bottoms II.
I started with some scraps of green papers from DCWV's Doodlin' Around Stack and scraps of black cardstock. I pulled out all of my circle punches ranging from 1/2" to 1 1/4" and started punching out monsters from one of the pieces of paper & corresponding black cardstock mats.
Next, I stamped Hero Arts Antique Brocade in Olive Pastel Chalk ink on another scrap of paper and punched out more circles. I attached the circles to a 4" designer paper square that was matted on a 4 1/4" black card base, making sure they touched edges like the glass piece. I finished by matting the coordinating sticker sentiment on black cardstock and free-hand cutting the mat.
I hope you find inspiration.
Oh this is pure genius! So adorable. What a unique take on the inspiration piece.
Love your work. Thanks for sharing.

What a totally fun card, and a welcome chuckle for sure! My little corner of the world has been SO STRESSFUL lately – I needed this day-brightener! I need to go look at the rest of the Daniel Maher pieces – he seems like my kind of guy. I collect pieces like the ones he used on your inspiration source…
Haha! LOVE your take on the inspiration, Stef! TOO cute! Love those silly monsters:) Have a great day!
This is so cute! I LOVE the design.
How cool, wonderful colors.
Fun card and great way to use the inspiration piece!
