Although I have been ‘stamping up a storm’ everything has been for the upcoming Create with Connie and Mary Occasions Edition 2012 and not for posting here on my blog!  YIKES!  So today I decided to play along with the Inspiration Challenge on SCS and just have some fun stamping (and sharing with you!)

The inspiration site is an Etsy Store called EmbroideryEverywhere and here is the link to my inspiration piece.  First I just love Celtic graphics and the other thing I really liked about his piece was the colors…Soft Suede and Daffodil Delight…two color I would have never put together.  I know with my Lattice Die I could do a pretty good representation of the inspiration piece!

The base of the card is Confetti White.  I too another piece of Confetti White and added a Daffodil Delight Scallop Edge Border along the bottom edge.  I then did two of the single row of the Lattice Die in Soft Suede, overlapped them in the middle one and added to the panel.  I stamped the greeting from Apothecary Art in Soft Suede above the lattice.  Next I punch out the flowers in Daffodil Delight using the Itty Bitty Flower punch and the smallest flower on the Boho Blossom Punch and added these to the Lattice using Glue Dots.  next I added the largest Pearl and the largest Rhinestone from the Basic Pearl and Basic Rhinestones to the center of the flowers.  I have never used the pearls and rhinestones together like this and like the look!  This panel is layered onto another piece of Confetti White using dimensionals then to the card front also using dimensionals!
