Finding Inspiration Friday

Dandelion Wishes

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my Finding Inspiration Friday. I hope you are inspired with the world around you. Today I wanted to share what caused my inspiration. I have to say that I can't stand all the dandelions in my yard. My whole front and back yards are all pretty much dandelions. It's the only thing growing in this hot dry weather. With that, how is it that I love the Dandelion Wishes stamp set in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog? This is such a wonderful stamp set. I recently featured this as my July Stamp of the Month. 

This card uses Poppy Parade a color that has returned this year. I layered it with So Saffron with a strip of Garden Impressions DSP. That added strip gives the card more interest. The green in it also works with the Artisan Pearls.

For my second card, I paired Fresh Fig with Crushed Curry. The Berry Burst ribbon goes really well too. The silver edge goes great with the Rhinestones in the center of the Dandelions. 

I was mowing the lawn earlier and wanted to get a picture of my cat, who was sleeping in the middle of the lawn hidden in the dandelions, but when I ran in to get my camera, she got up and followed me. So I missed out on a great picture. 

As you can see, it's very difficult to not like this stamp set. The sayings are wonderful. I really like the font used for them. I wanted to share a couple other projects that I have from other demonstrators who also were inspired by this stamp set.

Janice Weightman created this fun card using Granny Apple Green

I really liked this project. The white really stands out.

I don't have a name to give credit to on this one.

Well I hope you are inspired to get into your stamps, ink, and paper. Thanks so much for stopping in.
