Due to impending flood waters, we have been out of our home since last Saturday (and I have also been working out of our disaster recovery center, since our workplace was evacuated as well).
Thankfully, a dear friend took in two refugees and provided us with a safe and comfortable place to ride out the storms. The other good news is that she has a stamp room in her basement (she was the one who introduced me to stamping so many years ago), so when I remembered at the last minute that I agreed to host the Inspiration Challenge at SplitcoastStampers on Saturday, I was able to pull a card together.
Thankfully the barriers held back the water & the river crest was lower than initially forecasted, so we suffered no damage to our unit or work and are moving back this week.
Our inspiration site is Decorative Dishes. I chose this Retro Rosana Plate for my inspiration.
I started by stamping Cynthia Diem by Stampabilities in Black Ink. Then I added two more small sentiment stamps near the bottom.
I used various markers and pens to add red & green highlights and then finished with a few paper flowers for accent. Not particularly my best work, but given the week I've had, it makes me pretty happy.
Layout is this week's Freshly Made Sketch.
Thank goodness that you were spared the worst of the flood waters. I can’t imagine how scary that must have been. So glad everything worked out and I hope you can go back home soon.
What a wonderful take on that inspiration photo. The image and your colors are so eclectic! Thanks for taking the time to play along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
This is such a gorgeous card – I just adore this image you’ve used. So glad you joined us at FMS this week!
