And I actually have 2 cards for you today:
I added lots of pink and little pink rhinestones to accent.
As soon as I looked at the picture, I was grabbed by the folded ornaments and I thought of this "Stained Glass Round" stamp as it reminded me of the patterns in the ornaments. I stamped it all over an entire panel and then colored them up using the colors from the inspiration photo. As I was trying to decide where I wanted to go from there, I decided to cut it into two pieces, thus the two cards. The first is very feminine:
The second card is more masculine as I went with the darker colors in the photo. It could really be used for both and I added the belated birthday sentiment because I am ALWAYS sending cards late.
The maroon scalloped oval die cut was in my bits and pieces stash--another piece I was struggling to use, but it works perfectly with this color combo.
Thanks for stopping by! Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this photo. And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.

Awesome. And you have a twofer. Love the colors and perfect image for this challenge.
There were so many fun and creative takes on the inspiration board this week --- and yours was one of them! That stained glass stamp is absolutely perfect for this challenge - and I love how you made a masculine and feminine version! (I'm with you on sending late cards -- no matter how hard I try, I always seem to be a bit behind!)
Two fabulous cards, like how you used the stained glass round and paired it with pink on the girly version and used the blue gems on the masculine version, such a fun post!
"Oh, I don't think I've seen this stamp before. Awesome cards.
That stained glass stamp is amazing! Love how you got two cards from your piece. Nice combination of challenges. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge.
