Hi again, hope all is well. Second time for me today, but I have been forgetting to post this card for challenges and I best do it while I thought of it and before I forget again.
😁
A little different look from me, so let me explain. This is for a friend who will love it. She quilts and sews and loves pattern mixes and The Seventies, which we lived through as teens/young adults. Growing up, there was always a tabletop pumpkin and sunflower display sitting on a patchwork quilt runner in the front foyer of our house every Fall. Lately, I've been waxing nostalgic about that time, maybe because inflation was raging back then too, but also because styles and colors from back then have triggered my memories. Think avocado green and harvest gold appliances, crocheted knit blankets, happy sunny flowers. So, I went for those feels and threw them into this card.
Supplies Used:
Jan's Digi Stamps Pumpkin Blessings pre-colored image
Color Mates and Springhill Digital card stocks
Ciao Bella The Seventies 6X6 Designer Paper
Basic Grey Origins 6X6 Designer Paper (inside)
Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type alpha stickers
Quickutz Nested Hexagon dies
Momenta flower and leaf dies
Brown brads from stash
Chalk ink for ink distressing paper edges
For my layout design I went with the current challenge sketch at Creative Sketchy Girls, resizing to 6X6 in PSE, as shown.
The current challenge at Inspiration Station is called Golden Fields with a photo of sunflowers, so I chose the floral papers from the Ciao Bella collection, layering them to represent a golden field of flowers. Jan's image has a few sunflowers, so I added 3 more die cut ones in place of the stars in the sketch, bradding 2 flowers together and adding a leaf.
Inside, I matted with 2 sheets of the Basic Grey and stamped an Avery Elle sentiment with Versamark Clair ink.
On back, more the Ciao Bella papers and a stamped and circle-punched siggie.
And a final look. Gosh, wish I still had my pet rock and mood ring.
😎
Thanks for the visit - Have a great Sunday!

This has such a beautiful mix of images and papers. I had avocado appliances in my first house. I did not care for that at all, even back then!
I love all the Autumn-y elements of this card. I remember my mother getting a new stove and refrigerator in that 70's gold color....and she was so proud! Thanks for sharing your lovely project with us at The Inspiration Station Challenge.

A different vibe from you, yes, but oh so beautiful!! Reminds me of a couple of patchwork quilts my husband's aunt made that we have tucked away. I hope you're having a good day my friend.
