Books & Birthdays

This afternoon, I had fun creating a card inspired by the Tray in the Inspired By Challenge … can you spot all of the ways I was inspired.

I started by gathering a collection of grey designer papers from my stash.  The background is inspired by the tray itself.   The vertical panel was inspired by the ombre of the vase.  The horizontal paper was inspired by the clock.  The smaller vertical print was inspired by the greenery & flowers.

Next I can to incorporate the books.  I stamped the larger pile of books from Waffle Flower Books and Coffee, and then I stamped the smaller pile of books on top with the little chick and her coffee cup, inspired by both the books and the glass in the tray.  I brought in the green from the leaves and the peachy-pink from the glasses and accents in the tray with my coloring.

I finished with some grey Pinkfresh Studio Essentials Crystals and a sentiment from Waffle Flower Classic Sentiments.
