Repeat Impression Photo Inspiration Challenge

It's Wednesday, and time for a new challenge at The House that Stamps Built!

Today's challenge is an inspirational photo. Isn't this beautiful?

Photo inspirations are the toughest challenges for me. I tend to think way too much INSIDE the box! I'm learning a bit to step outside of that box, and outside of my own comfort zone, and that's a

good thing!

I used Repeat Impressions 102-F Dragonfly, and Repeat Impressions 4405-K Dragonfly Deco for my card today.

Here's what I made:

I didn't have any papers that more closely touched on the color scheme, so this is what I used. Thought the print was a cool background. The dragonflies and sentiment were stamped with Versamark, and heat embossed in black.  The wee white sequins tied in the touch of white on the photo.  

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!!!  Lol...

Come join in our Photo Inspiration Challenge!  

Remember, you don't HAVE to use Repeat Impressions Stamps, 

but if you do, you have double the chance of winning!

Wish you were here...

Howdy, ya'll,

hope that you are having a great week - happy Wednesday!

It's time for a new Photo Inspiration Challenge at The House that Stamps Built.

Here's the sketch:

And here's my card, using Repeat Impressions' Stamps:

  9507-P Wine for Two, and 

2821-H Wish you were here.

Wow, this one was tough for me, so I finally cheated. Yep, cheated!

I found a clip art online of a pretty sunset, and that's my

card base. For the wine glass, I inked up only one of the two wine

glasses, and used some Copics to color the glass a bit.

Then the sentiment was stamped. It was all matted, and adhered

to a gold card base. That's that!

The inspiration photo reminded me of the 'Calgon, take me away' commercial, so I went

for easy peasy!  In all fairness, I had some stamps ordered for this lovely

photo inspiration challenge, but the USPS is living up to the 'snail mail' title!

Now, let's do some hopping to see what my DT friends have created!

Hello there!

It's Wednesday, and time for a brand new Photo Inspiration challenge at

The House that Stamps Built!

Here is the inspiration photo:

I used these stamps for my project:  Repeat Impressions 1808-E Just Because, and

Repeat Impressions 1317-L Vase of Tulips.

Here's what I made!

This card was SO easy!

The focal image was stamped three times. Once on a white panel, once again on a white scrap, and once on the patterned paper.  The focal image was colored with Copic Markers. The vase was then fussy cut from the patterned paper, and adhered to the stamped vase on the white panel.

One of the tulips on the scrap piece was colored, fussy cut, and popped up,

hanging over the front edge of the vase.

All panels were adhered to the card base, and the sentiment was stamped.

Easy peasy!

My fellow Rock Stars have some beautiful projects to share today, as well.

I hope that you will get your dies or punches out, and join our challenge!  Remember,

you don't HAVE to use Repeat Impressions Stamps, but if you do, you have

double the chance of winning!

Repeat Impressions - Photo Inspiration

Howdy folks!

Today, I'm here to share a creation made for the Repeat Impressions Photo Inspiration Challenge at The House that Stamps Built.

Here is the inspiration photo:

And here is my card:

I had this sweet little Repeat Impressions stamp - 1610-J Spring Tree, and decided to just go with the red and white and pink theme of the inspiration photo.  The sentiment, Repeat Impressions - 2511-H Even When... was the perfect finishing touch.

We'd love to see you link up YOUR card to the challenge!

Feel free to use the photo however you like - pick up the heart shape, the colors, the tree, whichever element calls your name, and get creative!  Who knows?  YOU could be the winner of

some fabulous Repeat Impressions stamps!

Now...it's time to see what my fellow Rock Stars have created with this photo!
