My inspiration piece from today's Inspiration Challenge is the tropical pitcher found here: http://www.fitzandfloyd.com/product/...ch+pitcher.do#. I love the colors. I used the VLVMar03 sketch for the layout. These VLV sketches include a twist, and this week the card had to be a birthday card.
I used stamps from two different Verve sets (Abundant Blessings for the flower stamped on the green and Birthday Surprise for the sentiment). The butterfly is from SU's Merci set. I stamped the butterfly twice for a little dimension since it was overwhelmed by the DP before I did that. I colored it with Stampin' Pastels (Celery and So Saffron). The DP is Haiku.
Fun day. Happy Saturday, everyone.
Now to pay some bills. Yippee!

I love your take on the image you chose, keeping with the colors is a fine way of being inspired. Very pretty patterns in here, butterfly flowers and checkered. TFS
