STAMPlorations Inspiration #59 - Dream Big

I've got some STAMPlorations inspiration for you today with a smooshy, dreamy card.  I had a little smooshing session the other week, so it was time to start putting my smooshed panels to use.

I picked this bluey-greeny background, which reminded me of a skyscape, and looked for an area that would work with the image stamp from the Country Rustic set.  Having stamped the image, I extended the pole with a stamp from the Artsy Border Maker set, then stamped the sentiment.  The pole divided the sentiment a little too much, so I added a couple of rows of black stitching so that the eye would follow the sentiment.  A couple of Winged Things completed the panel, then I mounted it onto blue card.

Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for some more fabulous inspiration, and don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win.

I'm entering my card into Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

and Pinterest Inspired Challenge, with this gorgeous pin as inspiration:

Round And Round The Garden

I'm over at STAMPlorations tonight with a Spotlight tutorial on this card.  Pop on over and take a look.

I'm entering it into Simon Says Monday Challenge, Homegrown Summer.  Not only is it garden-themed, the stamps are homegrown ;)

ETA: I'd also intended to enter this into the new Pinterest Inspired Challenge, but forgot, and then went away for a few days.
