Tonight is the Blog Hop for Melanie Muenchinger's newest stamp set called Inspiration Mosaic. I am excited to share three cards with you tonight. I love this set as it can be used so many ways. For my first and last cards I paper pieced, and for the second card I stamped right on some gorgeous Basic Grey paper from their Wisteria collection. Full details below.
I have seen several cards done like this quilt card and I loved it so this is my take on it. After paper piecing the mosaic I embossed with a cuttlebug folder to give it texture.
On this card I stamped right on the DP. For the kids walking I stamped and then colored them with copics and next cut them out. I know that sounds hard but it really isn't that bad if you have some cutterbee scissors.
On this card I used stamps and paper from the newest stamp kit from Gina K Designs. Gina has a couple of videos on StampTV showcasing this set. Thank you for stopping by and make sure you check out the rest of the Design Team and Guest Designers linked below I know you will not be disappointed. Rumor has it that Melanie has some blog candy, good luck.For more inspiration check out Melanie's blog.

Gorgeous cards, Bren! I especially love the pieced fall card! I'm a sucker for those colors. Beautiful coloring, too!
ReplyDeleteBrenda your cards are just terrific. I loved the paper pieced first card, and the autumn card made me think of fall. However I have to say that the one of the kids walking just spoke to my heart in that magical way that art speaks. The children reminded me so much of my own dd and ds. Thank you for sharing your talents.
