The Challenge theme at Shopping Our Stash is to make a card inspired by a Food or Beverage Label. Hunting for my inspiration took me back to the years of hosting the Inspiration Challenge at SplitcoastStampers … during that time, I looked at everything I saw as a potential item to inspire a card design. I loved looking at the world that way … and it was fun to revisit that frame of reference for this challenge.
I chose this package of honey candies in my pantry as my inspiration.
I started with the Cuttlebug Honeycomb background embossed on light blue cardstock … then I made it *spongeworthy* for the TGIF Challenges (I have often used that Seinfeld reference to items that I love that have been discontinued) … by sponging on a slightly darker blue ink to bring out the texture of the design.
Next I went searching for a bumble bee … but settled on a butterfly from Concord & 9th Floral & Flutter that I die cut from gold glitter cardstock (to incorporate the golden crown on the bee).
Then I added a champagne pearl flourish to bring out the bee flying pattern that was on the packaging. Finally I incorporated the dark chocolate brown and added a AlteNew Wings of Hope Sentiment to finish my design.
Here they are side-by-side to see the inspiration.
Wow this is fabulous, great sponging and following the theme. Great to have both side by side. Thanks for joining us at shopping Our Stash for the challenge.
