So many people with opinions hee hee - this time I was told it was time for a purse or handbag. So I found an adorable one (just don't look at the price tag :shock: ).
This Valentino Straw & Buffalo Flower Bag has embroidery but also has touches of leather and metal. The sample image is a bit small, so you can visit Neiman Marcus for a closer look.
And if you haven't already heard, Beate's & Daven's birthdays are Monday - did you get your card done?
Please use the IC70 keyword when uploading your card (no space b/n IC and the challenge number).
There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild -- be *inspired* and go get stamping! View the attached image. You may be inspired to recreate the piece - but that isn't necessary...get your inspiration from the colors, layout, or 'theme'. Don't worry - no card is 'wrong'!
Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Thank you.
Well shoot, I'll just skip the auto insurance payments for the year and a few mortgage installments and I'll run out to buy that purse!! Great choice for an inspiration Karen.
What a BEAUTIFUL bag! I guess it should be since it's a Valentino and is $3000!! I have to paint my bathroom tomorrow and buy accessories to go with the new look. I probably won't have time, but will be SURE to browse the gallery to see the lovely cards inspired by this beauty! Thanks Karen.
Okay, here's what I came up with! This was fun and I think I may have rediscovered my mojo. Maybe I'll try another tomorrow. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

This one was a little tricky but also a lot of fun! I am lovin' the creativity here and can't wait to see more.
Here is my Valentino Inspired Card
Cheers,

Karen, You aren't just whistling dixie about the price of that bag. I went to the store site to get a closer look and almost sucked all the air out of the room when I saw $2900, Wow!!! It is a great inspiration piece to work from though, Karen! I hope the fashion police don't come after us for trying to *copy* the images. ;)

Had to fit the challenge in before I leave for vacation. Can't stand the fact that I will miss a whole week of challenges. Stamp with you all when I get back, don't do too many great things while I am gone!

I gotta ask you....when you buy a purse like that....what do you carry all your stuff in.....if I spent that much for a purse it would be in a glass case in my living room with a warning sign ......."Keep your dirty mitts off!"
Well shoot, I'll just skip the auto insurance payments for the year and a few mortgage installments and I'll run out to buy that purse!! Great choice for an inspiration Karen.
At first I thought, order up a dozen or so, but you know things go in and out of vogue soooo quickly, I'll just wait to see what Val comes up with next season. RIGHT!!!!!

I was so excited to make the card that I didn't look at the price until I started reading all of these posts. A purse can cost that much? You gotta be kidding me! :o
