Another fun Inspiration Challenge! I liked a bunch of the pillows but I was immediately drawn to the Spirographe. I love all things geometric and patterned and fractal.
For my spiro border, I used a combination of a spirograph border (HA) and some similar spiro looking foam stamps (Clearsnap). Originally, I was just going to stamp/mask them across the bottom. I wanted to see how they'd look, so I did a dry run on piece of scratch paper. When I used the smallest nestie circle to cut out some masks, my stamped practice piece (w/ the circles cut out) happened to be sitting on a piece of the rose red. I decided I really liked it so I incorporated it into the design. I used the white pigment ink to stamp the three behind the cut outs. I love accidental discoveries and they happen in my designs all the time.
The greeting (LIWP) was white embossed and cut w/ a nestie square. It's on a narrow white layer then another r.red layer which was cut w/ a nestie scallop square. The ribbon (Mike's $ bin) was attached to the front of the stamped white linen layer, then the greeting added.
The dew drop things are more Mike's finds. They're little flat backed acrylic things from their floral dept. I colored the back side w/ a rose colored sharpie and glued them on.
Thanks so much for looking.
