A picture of an ice cream shop is inspiration for this week's TGIF Challenge. As with any inspiration challenge, you can take anything from the photo to inspire your project: some take the theme, some the sketch, some the colors, some a pattern. In this photo, I first noticed the pink brick wall and took that idea to create my background:
To create my brick wall, I used a sponge brayer (#141714) to cover the inside of the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder (#149643) with Magenta Madness ink. I colored only the side with the Stampin' Up! logo, then placed a piece of Whisper White card stock over the ink, closed the folder and put it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (#149653).
My card features some wildflowers (some may say weeds--a little harsh, I think) peeking out from the space between the brick wall of the ice cream shop and the cement parking lot. These were created with the Dandy Wishes dies (#154315) and Coastal Cabana, So Saffron and Granny Apple Green card stock. I pulled these colors from the inspiration piece.
The greeting is from the Garden Wishes stamp set (#154408; #156220 when bundled with the Dandy Wishes dies for a 10% savings). It was stamped in Magenta Madness on Whisper White card stock and die cut using a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820).
Three Magenta Madness enamel dots (#152480, 2020-2022 In Color enamel dots), a layer of Coastal Cabana and a Magenta Madness card base complete the card.
Go see the wonderful variety of projects created with this inspiration piece over at the TGIF Challenges Blog here.
I hope you have a wonderful day full of sunshine!
