Inspired By #161 - pretty as a pitcher!

 

As much as I have total recall of my supplies - lol - only one set came 
to mind when I looked at this photo inspiration for IB161's Pretty as a Pitcher!
This is going to be one of those something old + something new cards!
Sweet Havana from Mama Elephant meets Reverse Confetti's Plaid Lines =

I'm so sorry to report that this set is no longer available =[


Some images stamped and die-cut, some stamping directly onto my
linen cardstock.  Here are my inks:


I'm sure my teammates will have thoroughly frame-worthy cards -
let's go see, shall we?  IB161

What a sweet card! Love the die cut background and that beautiful pitcher filled with flowers is delightful in pink. Too bad it's no longer available because I'd be over there adding it to my cart. It's one of those sets that is timeless in design. swoon!

Beautiful and so sweet! I love pitchers. I don't know what it is about them. This pitcher is just lovely. And to me the flowers look like pink lilacs. Even if they actually aren't that is what they make me think of. Happy smile. Your visually neat background highlights the focal image in such a lovely way. Thanks for sharing, Michele. Hugs.

This is a sweet pitcher and so perfect for this inspiration, Michele! I love the subtle texture of the linen cardstock and the embossing in the background! It looks like vellum and so dreamy!

JulieP said...

Gorgeous! I keep staring at that background die cut. Is it vellum?

HilaryJane said...

Simply wonderful. I am trying to work out that background. Is it embossing or die cut vellum on grey card. Whatever it is fabulous xx

Anita in France said...

Simply lovely, Michele ... soft, dreamy, serene ... a delicious balance between the softness of the pink (blooms and pitcher) and that cool background plaid! A gorgeous take on the inspiration! Hugs, Anita :)

Love this, Michele. So pretty.
I could do with a jug of those blooms on my kitchen counter.
(Grandbaby is due beginning of March, and it will be a surprise for us all if it's a girl or boy)

So soft and pretty, Michele. Why is it every IB challenge while I'm gone has a photo I have stamps for? I hope that continues when I get back.
