A Kept Life: Paper Sweeties December Inspiration Challenge #14

Are you a Paper Sweeties fan? Well then you are going to want to stay tuned and check back often since we are doing things a little different this month. Normally we have new release previews on the 13-16 of every month, but since you will be wanting these stamps early to make some cards they are hitting the store early. Previews begin tomorrow. Today begins a new monthly inspiration challenge at Paper Sweeties. There is a new challenge every month and it's a great way to get ideas for your stamps as well as a chance to win some new ones! Check out the inspiration photo this month - lots of earth tones and neutrals to work with here.

I made a layered card featuring a blond Sophie dressed as an angel I paper pieced her tunic and wings and added different textures (crochet lace, burlap trim). I was thinking of the nativity I wanted to mix elegance and opulence, with a down to earth homespun feel.

Want to see more? Here's a list of the designers with projects today. I really like that the Design Team alumni (which I will be joining next month) return for the sketch challenge every month. I've gotten to know these ladies and respect and admire their creativity.
