Learn From Yesterday

Here is another card created using the 'Sense Of Time' stamp set:

I've CASE'd the layout for this card from one I saw on SCS and changed it up to suit the look I wanted. Cardstock colours I have used are Crumb Cake, Elegant Eggplant and Confetti White. I have stamped the images from the stampset onto a piece of neutrals DSP with Elegant Eggplant ink, before sponging the edges with Crumb Cake ink.

The sentiment from the same stamp set has then been stamped onto a piece of Confetti White with Basic Black ink, then one of the images has been stamped around the edge with Crumb Cake ink. The piece was then inked with Crumb Cake ink, then layered on to a slightly larger piece of Confetti White Cardstock, before layering onto Crumb Cake and then onto an Elegant Eggplant  scallop square cut with the scallop square die.

The flower is from the Paper Daisies pack and the button is from the Regals Designer Pack. The lace ribbon is from the Vintage Lace that was in the Summer Mini.

I've used stamps from 'A Sense Of Time', 'Elements of Style' and 'Happiness Shared' to recreate this card. You can't really see it in the photo, but the main image has been stamped, coloured and then run through the Lattice Textured Impressions embossing folder.

I can't believe how quickly the time seems to fly by!! Already it is time for another great challenge from Stamp-A-Memory!

This months challenge was an inspiration challenge and this is the gorgeous photo we had for inspiration:

And here is my layout:

 

I just loved using the bright colours on a layout for a change and I especially loved the little blue headband with the flower ('cos I just looove flowers!!!).
