To Brighten Your Day


Hey there! We have a new challenge for you at Inspired By today, it's called sitting pretty!
Ya know, I had not one single chair, book or pitcher in my stamps or paper stash. So I really had to put my thinking cap on.  


I had the shiplap wall covered with some Carta Bella paper. Then I came across the brown woodgrain papers in the same pad. Hmm... the dark lines made me think of the horizontal and diagonal placement of the books on the chairs. My scalloped dies cuts? They're a playful take on the fancy chair backs!

I hope my card brightened your day. Now how about brightening our gallery with your card!

    LOL, it seems many of us have no "chair" stamps...I love your take on this! Those sweet little "pockets" are just adorable, and you have the best dies!

    So beautiful Lisa and I love that you did something different for your inspired by design! The patterned paper is so pretty, you don't often see a wood print that is nice and white!

    Lisa you showed the rest of blogland how to make lemonade out of lemons - who needs chairs anyway?
    LOve the little 'pockets' and how you've continued the leafy branches onto the white with stamping... clever girl!

    Beautiful, Lisa! Even more so because you nailed the look even without the elements like chairs and books and such! Congratulations on your latest design team position! It's such a perfect match! You are so thoughtful in looking at all the ins and outs of an inspiration piece!

    WONDERFUL card, Lisa, I'm loving the masculine ship-lap and woodgrain and then those polar opposite feminine items -- scallops flowers! They all play beautifully together

    Yep, it did brighten my already bright day, Lisa ... and it's charming! Such a lovely contrast between the lines of the shiplap and the soft curves of the flowers and scallops! Hugs, Anita :)

    This is so cute, Lisa, and I like how you explained your reason for using the various papers and shapes. It helps us literal people see things differently.
