For today's Inspiration Challenge, to be inspired by a Pier One living room...and the pillows always get me in a room challenge...I chose the floral pillow on the couch. Used Fall Silhouettes by Kim Hughes, Cornish Heritage Farms. Stamped denim background first, added sunflowers. Then stamped aida cloth in red on a rusty colored, textured cs from a Mat Stack to resemble the couch...and lastly the Anne Ryan inspired "Doodad"...that's what I always call her fancy pancy embellishments, so I tried to create one of my own with a clear button that had scrap paper glued underneath...stitched a smaller button on top of that, put both buttons on a piece of fancy gold flecked tuile, then put entire doodad on a punched circle from my scrap bin!

This is very, very cool. I always go for the textiles too. I love the way you used the BG stamps to recreate fabric textures - it makes for a stunning card!
