Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #630


Isn't that an interesting inspiration! Lots of white and red and I don't work with red very often at all.

I really wanted to do something with the little golden retriever poking his head out of the barn in the bottom of the picture but couldn't come up with anything. In the end I went with the whole country vibe of the picture and the gorgeous roses. I chose an old stamp set, Blossoming Basket, because it's the most country-chic type stamp I own, and I thought pairing it with some nice checker pattern would give it the look I was after. I think I came close but I don't think it's quite "country" enough.

This card was pretty simple. I actually went with Sweet Sorbet since I had yet to use it for anything, plus I had the DSP for it! I stamped and fussy-cut the basket of flowers and coloured it with Stampin' Blends. I was going to do a Crumb Cake basket but went with Gray Granite in the end because I simply do not use enough of it. The vellum was cut with the Deckled Rectangle dies to give it a bit of that rough/distressed look, which honestly I should have done with the DSP and white layer, and the basket popped up off the vellum. Some matching ribbons, some matte In-Color dots (I tried to add some Wink of Stella to the dots but not sure you can see it) and a simple sentiment completed my card.
