Triggered a Couch...

As soon as I saw the trigger at Moxie Fab I knew I needed to play (and that I wanted that room!)
And this week the PTI Make it Monday challenge is to add a vellum sentiment strip...
And Wee Memories Challenge is to be inspired by something-not sure if the trigger counts, but
Laurel's card on page 44 of Stamp it! Techniques has a couch stamped on fabric....
So here's what I came up with:


PTI spring rain & soft stone cardstock. PTI woodgrain embossing plate with tea dye ink. PTI couch stamped on a cream sock (!), pillows stamped on the Jenni Bowlin index sheet for 4x4 papers (damask) & chamomile tea to tone down the white- blue pillow is stamped with versamark & journaling lines. (versafine ink for all outlines & sentiment).

May Arts crochet (can't seem to get enough of that!) & red burlap string. I also used a pretty Graphic 45 flower as an accent, and a doily of course!

And because this is just too fun for words, I have to show you my little stamper at work:

She stamped a scene (my parent's house- although I assure you their couches are not pink!)

So cute!
Don't forget to head over to May Arts for a chance at another ribbon giveaway- it's going through the weekend!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'd love to hear what you think!!

  2. TWO great artists at work. The little touches of red in your card are amazing, they pop against the blue and white.

  9. How cute! I love your card with the pillows. I love the woodgrain, the doily and the clock, such wonderful elements to have picked. thanks for the sweet words on my blog!(I do not look at others cards until the contest has closed, so if I want to keep playing I can without others cards having influenced my thought processes.)
