What inspires you?

Welcome back and Happy Tuesday. Did any of you see the amazing eclipse lastnight? The pretty reds and oranges may have had a hand in inspiring me to post this card today.

Today I'm playing with some Precious Remembrance Shop stamps, some of my newest favorites. I adore the fonts that are in these sets and I love the quality too. I'm a huge fan of the acrylic stamps and sometimes they can lack in quality. Too soft and squishy is not a good thing when it comes to these types of stamps. I love the impression that you get from a good rubber stamp and these meet that expectation. I would compare them to Technique Tuesday or Peachy Keen stamps in the quality department.

I am also a a big fan of using what you have. This particular card uses things that I have had in my stash for a very long time. The fun and sparkly leaves, flowers and fun cork element are cut out from a Accut die and punch literally over 2 years ago. I keep them all organized in little clear pouches so that they will inspire me. That made this card so easy peasy to put together, literally about 7 minutes to make this card. I also like to use a single collection of paper to make everything tie together. In this case a 6x6 stack of My Mind's Eye paper.

That's all you get from me today... I hope you all have an awesome day. See you again tomorrow :)
