Today, my inspiration was from color. I wanted to create a project with Wisteria Wonder. I've tried to use it on a few earlier occasions, but could never seem to get it to work. This time, I got it.
From a plain sheet of Wisteria Wonder cardstock and the Chalk Talk Stamp Set (which was still on my table from yesterday's post), my project was off to a good start. I thought I would go a little Vintage with it, so I pulled out my Everything Eleanor stamp set. Not quite Vintage, but the background stamp from Everyhing Eleanor was perfect. The decision for the center was either the bird from Everything Eleanor, or a quick punch with my Elegant Butterfly punch.
The butterfly won. Now for color? A few posts ago, I punched some butterflies with patterned paper, so I didn't want to do that again. After sampling a few colors, Coastal Cabana won, hands down!!!
If you remember a while back, I posted some card design tips and talked about "color saturation", or the intensity of color. The Coastal Cabana cardstock has the same color saturation as the Wisteria Wonder cardstock. They work beautifully together, and that one pop of color adds so much.
