Late Night Stampers – New Beginnings challenge

Good Morning Ladies!

Wow I can’t believe it is Wednesday already!  Where has the week gone?  Does it seem to go faster when we have a holiday for you too?

Over at Late Night Stampers we have a challenge to create a card, scrapbook page, or project based on New Beginnings.  The new beginnings can be a new job, new home, new baby, new marriage, etc.  When I saw this I wondered what I was going to do.  When I walked out into my new sunroom I knew I had my idea.

About 3 months ago I began construction on turning my deck into a sunroom.  Now that it is finished I love it.  So I decided to base my card on my new sunroom. 

I began with the sketch challenge at Stamping 411   

Next I knew I wanted to capture my walls as I did a faux finish on them that I love.  Here is a pic of the walls.

There is a lot of texture on the walls and I wanted to achieve that in the background of my main panel.  I began with So Saffron cardstock and then sponged on More Mustard and Whisper White. 

Next I had to choose my other colors.  I turned to my curtains as I love the colors in them.

So now that you have seen my room and inspiration, here is what I created.

So did you see my background?  Didn’t I do a good job of recreating my walls?  I think this card captures my room very well. 

Thanks for looking and have Wonderful Wednesday!
