I have a whole Pinterest board full of cards that caught my eye because I could reproduce them using Repeat Impressions stamps. I thought this card would look beautiful using either the Flower Power Background stamp or some of the individual flowers from the Flower Power Separates collection. But as I was thinking about what I wanted to do for my Pick of the Week, I decided to create a masculine card inspired by this very feminine card. Here is what I came up with:
As you can see, I kept the layout the same and even used some ribbon (yes, you can use ribbon on masculine cards), but the result is very different because of the colors and image I used. First, I die cut my cream panel with a stitched rectangle die. Then, I masked off the top of the panel and stamped the "African Post Collage (lg)" image across the bottom of the panel. It didn't quite cover the whole panel, so I inked it up a second time and just stamped part of the stamp along the bottom edge. I used a blending brush to blend on some Antique Linen Distress ink along the edges and stamped my sentiment, "it's your birthday!" (from the Holy Crap series) on the top in a dark brown ink. Adhered the ribbon across the top of the stamped portion of the panel and added the star brad to finish a very quick and easy card.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope this inspires you to create some cards based on your Pinterest finds, and I hope it reminds you that you can be inspired by something even if it turns out looking quite different from the original.
