Card inspired by my new bedding

We got some new bedding a few weeks ago and every time I looked at it, I thought, “That pattern and those colors would make a pretty card.” So, I looked through my stash to see what I had and ended up making this card.

I trimmed some PTI Spring Moss, and CTMH Cocoa and Colonial White cardstock into little strips to make the striped pattern. Then I added a piece of scallop trimmed Cocoa cardstock to the edges. I stamped the leaves in Cocoa ink using a retired CTMH set called In Friendship’s Garden. The sentiment is from CTMH’s Happy Birthday set. I used a couple of Marvy flower punches and some CTMH buttons to finish it off.

This is what my new bedding looks like. (I wish I could say that this is a photo of my bedroom, but unfortunately it is the stock photo of the bedding from Bed, Bath, and Beyond.) The striped inspiration came from the small pillow in the middle and the leaves came from the bedspread.

What kinds of things have inspired you lately?
