Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I just wanted to take a quick moment to remember those that lost their lives on this day in 2001. I think we can all remember exactly where we were and what we were doing. Living so close to NYC I was extremely scared not knowing if anything else was going to happen.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We are doing month-long challenges now, so you have all month to enter multiple times.  The inspiration photo #209 is Fall Florals. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

I used the Stampin’ Up! cheerful Daisies Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Splendid Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Cheerful Daisies Dies and Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Cling Stamp Set for my Clean and Layered card. I was inspired by the yellow daisies and gingham ribbon from the inspiration photo.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 209.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Adhere a panel of Splendid Autumn DSP to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Crushed Curry card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Cheerful Daisies Dies, cut 3 of the branches from a panel of Mossy Meadow. On a panel of Basic Beige stamp the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the small daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Cut the sentiment out using the Cheerful Daisies Dies.

Adhere a piece of the Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the die cut branches under the sentiment using Liquid Glue. Add a few Faux Glass Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Autumn Expressions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Adhere a strip of Splendid Autumn DSP to the bottom of the panel. Stamp the small daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on either side of the sentiment. Randomly stamp the leaf image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink around the edges of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Crushed Curry card base.

To complete the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the small daisy image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink on the envelope front and flap. Stamp the leaf image from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
