This is what I came up with for Inspiration Challenge #160. I browsed through MacKenzie-Child's website, and I was attracted to the plate entitled "More Peas Please". You can see it here: http://www.mackenzie-childs.com/prod...mode=1&id=5594
I was particularly drawn to the border around the plate and wanted to replicate the border on my creation. Rather than go with peas (YUCK!), I decided to go with carrots instead. I then remembered this image I had from Inky Antics.
The image is stamped using Memento Tuxedo black onto Sterling Coated Matte paper. I colored the image with Copic markers. I proceeded to draw the border around the image with Copic markers and around one of the panels.
Patterned paper and black cardstock were also used, as well as ribbon and white brads. I simply colored the square brads with Copic markers.
Thanks so much for a great challenge, and thanks for looking.

Oh my gosh, this is the cutest! Just love your image and am relieved that you opted against using peas. (Did you really say yuk to peas?!!!) Ok, I can totally understand that since I'm not partial to them either. Besides, your adorable 18 carrot guy is hands down more fun! tfs

Wonderful!! I liked those plates a lot. I love what you've made inspired by them. Those colours are so refreshing, and the brads just pop off the page.
