Blogger Challenge: Week 87

This week's blogger challenge was an inspiration challenge based on a photo of a bedding set. It had a damask pattern in shades of rust and coral-ish colors, so I pulled some of those elements for my challenge card.

I'm not a big damask person--just not my style, I guess. I created my own pattern using some gloss patterned cardstock I found in a package of patterned paper from the Target Dollar Spot in the fall. The paper has a subtle tone on tone circle pattern. I cut a piece of the paper, then stamped in each of the circles with one of the images from Papertrey Ink's Guide Lines set.

I layered my re-mixed patterned cardstock on a piece of cream cardstock, then attached it to a Melon Berry card base. My new PTI stuff arrived yesterday and I couldn't resist using it for the challenge! I stamped the "thank you" sentiment from the new Beyond Basic Borders set on a small piece of Melon Berry in Melon Berry ink, then attached a cream button (also new PTI) to the end of the sentiment panel.

For more projects inspired by the same bedding set, you can visit the rest of the challenge participants. In these inspiration challenges, I'm always amazed at how different everyone's projects are even though they're based on the exact same thing. Links to their blogs are in the sidebar on the right.
