For today's inspiration challenge, I focused on the curtains shown on pages 4-5 from the Pier One catalog: http://www.pier1.com/TopMenu/Explore...september2008/
The curtains are wide twill tape, leaves were stamped with Best Blossoms, the flower was stamped with the lilac blossom from Painted Posies in ruby red thumped with chocolate chip marker. The curtain ties are narrow twill, attached with decorative brads. For the window, I punched four squares out of ruby red and popped it up to give dimension against the background scene. The valances, also popped up, were stamped with linen background and cut with scallop scissors. I will save this card for my boss and his wife, since they will be moving into a new house in a few months. Thanks for looking!
