Hi there! The new Time Out challenge this time is our Inspiration challenge. We are challenged to be inspired from items inside our homes. There's a twist of embossing too!
You know what I have a LOT of inside my home? NEW STAMPS that have never been used! LOL! So I decided that was what I was inspired by. Reverse Confetti and Hero Arts teamed up to create this graphic floral stamp set. I loved the samples I saw with this set so I bought it. I started by stamping and die cutting all the pieces and adhered them together. Then I went to work on the background. You can't see it in the photo, but I ran the white piece before stamping it through my die cut machine with a diagonal impression plate. I then stamped it with the yellow ink. Before I stamped it onto the cardstock, I stamped it off on a scrap piece. I wanted a subtle background in that color. For the yellow mat and sentiment piece, I used the same yellow ink and did the ink to paper technique. I didn't have a yellow in this color cardstock, so I created my own with the ink. The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and embossed in white. I added yellow crystals and shimmer.

I had to laugh at your statement about new stamps that go unused. I have a ton of them, as I am sure many of us do! I love these funky flowers and I really love that background. great make for our challenge.
What a fab take on the challenge Lisa-so creative and a lovely base to these gorgeous florals and these colours are just full of joy!
