Blogger's Challenge #159: Inspiration

I usually LOVE inspiration challenges.  I can usually look at a piece and copy it with stamps/images fairly quickly.  BUT this piece was truly a challenge but I am happy with the results!

Here's the picture Lisa gave us:

So much color and design. That's what stumped me for a bit.  I finally dug in and decided to go with texture and pattern and colors that "go" with the bedspread.  I chose Early Espresso, Regal Rose, Tempting Turquoise (stamped off one time), Daffodil Delight, Certainly Celery and finally Whisper White.  I rarely work with this many colors....another challenge.  Here's my result:

The base card is Whisper White.  I began by designing each color piece.  I simply stapmed on the Early Espresso, Certainly Celery and Tempting Turquoise pieces.  To create the Regal Rose/Whisper White piece, I used the Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder in the Big Shot, inked with Regal Rose ink.  After putting it through the Big Shot, the ink remained on my Whisper White cardstock.  For the Daffodil Delight piece, I used the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing folder and after putting the DD cardstock in the Big Shot, gently rubbed Whisper White ink over the raised portions.  My focal point includes the Birds and Blooms Sizzlit 4-Pack dies and the Little Leaves Sizzlits die.  I highlighted those edges with Certainly Celery ink and Melon Mambo ink to make the leaves and flowers POP!

Thanks for looking and be sure to check out the other players' work!
