Inspired Color Combo

I have 2 sources of inspiration for this card, which I made for last week's Workshop Wow challenge. The color combo was inspired by a card that Beate Johns posted a few weeks ago. I love that the colors are all neutrals! The color combo is: Whisper White, Kraft, Sahara Sand and Basic Gray. The layout of the card was inspired by Jaron Winder. He works for Stampin' Up! and did a presentation about inspiration at the Regional I attended. Most of his projects used circles, and one of his cards was very similar to this one in layout. I used bigger circles and added circular stamped images from Seeing Spots. I also added the round frame around the sentiment to continue the circle theme. I hope the color combo and card inspire you!
Happy stamping!

Happy Birthday, Shirley!

Monday was my mother-in-law's birthday. Shirley's favorite color is blue, so I try to use it for her whenever I can. I just got my Sale-a-bration preorder, and SU is offering some gorgeous free stuff this year! Besides the great stamp sets, there is also Designer Series paper AND ribbon, both of which I used on the card. The SAB stamp set that I used is called Polka Dot Punches, and the stamps all coordinate with our punches. Whoohoo! After I put the card together, I thought it looked a little plain, so I added the stamped circles on the cardfront. Much better!
