This is for this week's Crafty Secrets Challenge where we were to create a card inspired by nature. Well, my garden is full of purple and white foxgloves in full bloom right now, so they were the color inspiration for my card. If you'd like to view pictures of my garden, feel free to visit my BLOG You will have to scroll around a bit to find all the garden posts. I used the sketch from this week's sketch challenge for my card. I also added stickles to the flower centers.

I can see why you were inspired by your foxgloves...THEY ARE GORGeOUS. So much inspiration in your beautiful garden. Great way to use the dp in the panels and I like the oversized circle flower basket. Beautiful coloring and ribbon. Thanks for playing this week.
I've never had much luck with foxgloves but my hollyhocks are blooming.

Feminine and gorgeous, Amy! Our foxgloves are just out, too - did you used to stick the fallen flower heads over the ends of your fingers as a kid? :o)

So pretty, Amy! I really like how you interpreted the sketch, and I love the purples. The ribbon and the crystals are the perfect finishing touches too. Thanks for playing!

And inspired you should be ... your foxgloves garden is GORGEOUS!!! Of course it is my favorite color and my Dad always had these flowers in his gardens at home. I planted some at my house in Toledo but haven't here ... might want to give that a try. This creation is fantastic! Love how you've used the sentiment ... really pops and your basket of flowers is colored perfectly. Very nicely done my friend!!!
