My card for this week's Inspiration Challenge was inspired by the gorgeous Pillow Fight Wallpaper from Studio Nommo. I incorporated the colors, floating feathers, and even the square and rectangular shapes of the pillow and bench into my design.
My feather stamp was hand-carved by the amazing Gina of Tyggereye Art Love (you can check out all of her cool hand-carved designs in her Etsy store). I stamped it multiple times in Versamark on white cardstock & clear embossed.
Next, I sponged on ColorBox Chalk Ocean ink to get the variation of deep blue I wanted for my background. I used a baby wipe to remove the ink from the stamped images, but they were still a little bluer than I wanted, so I sprayed some stamp cleaner on the baby wipe, and that did the trick. I matted my background on a Chocolate Truffle card base.
I stamped a bird from Inkadinkado's Butterflies & Birds twice in the same Ocean ink & a sentiment form Stampin' Up's Define Your Life. Each is matted with the same Chocolate Truffle cardstock & attached with foam tape for dimension.

Great site this week despite the technical issues! I am, however, finding that if I type in the site address rather than using your link, I have no problems. Love your card!
