Here is a second card for today's inspiration challenge-IC132. I chose the coverlet and shams picture for this card--my inspiration coming from the pillows. You can see it here: http://acaciacatalog.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_50672
My squares were created by first stamping my flowers in the desired color. Then using the Stampamagig I stamped over them with versa mark so that I could clear emboss them. Next I took my square stamp from The Shampe of Things and stamped the 3 different colors. I wiped the excess ink off the embossed flowers and sponges around the outside with choc. chip. I also sponges the edges of all my layers. I added a brad in the corner of each square and finished it off with the three sentiments.
I was really pleased with how it turned out. I don't think I would have normally put these colors together but since I was trying to match the pillows I went for it!!

Pretty card & love the technique you used of stamping the square and rubbing off color! Will have to try that sometime.

Just great! I love the colors together. A new inspiration for me. These would work well for a guy card that I wouldn't mind making. You did a fantastic job. FYI - inking your stamp in Versamark first, then in your dye ink will let you emboss in one step! Just go from pad, to pad, to paper! That would save you some time!
