When inspiration goes hand in hand...
I have a card to share with you today. :) It features images from the Season's Greetings stamp set we recently designed for Gourmet Rubber Stamps. I'm really excited about these images! When I was designing stamps for this set, I was also working on a poster design for a local production of The Nutcracker. For the poster, I wanted to create something that said "Nutcracker" but wasn't the typical poster you see with a Nutcracker on it. This was kind of a challenge because it needed to be immediately recognizable to people, but I wanted it to be unique and different from everything else that was out there. After lots of brainstorming and many ideas later, I finally came up with the idea to superimpose the Nutcracker image onto an ornament, and have that as the main focus. Subtle, yet obvious. I liked this imagery so much I thought, this would make a cute card! So from there I designed the above stamp images to create a similar idea. Ornaments hanging on tree branches. I love when inspiration hits me like that!
