Catalog Inspired...

Mary Fish, an independent Stampin' Up demonstrator, often showcases cards that have been inspired by images she finds in magazines and catalogs. Here are two of my own:
This 'Ever Grateful' card found its background image and color palette inspiration in a duvet cover featured in a recent Pottery Barn catalog.

The above 'Thinking of You' card's main three-panel element came from a wall-art item in a catalog I received whose name, I am sorry to say, escapes me. I did manage to save the clipping (below.)

BEAN NOTES: Papertrey Out on a Limb and Stampin' Up Trendy Trees Stamps; Encore! Gold and Bronze Inks; Bazzil Cardstock; Foam Dimensional Squares (generic); Making Memories Copper Brads
HAPPY BEANS: Form-A-Line Gold Foil Tape
