This card was for Nichole Heady's challenge to use the Mexican culture for inspiration, though it also doubles for her challenge to use the Indian culture as an influence as well by using rhinestones and bling. These colors I seem to see in every Mexican restaraunt we have dined in and I strategically put rhinestones in the centers of all the floral elements (I do not know if they show up, but there are tiny blue rhinestones in the centers of the blue flowers).
Thank you for taking the time to look at my card.

You're right, these colors were in our restaurant tonight (mmmmm, queso!). I love the tile effect you achieved with just those two little accent stamps! And you are working some bling recently-love it!

I'm loving all of this international inspiration!! This is super--great colors. Definitely reminiscent of Mexico!! I love all of the symmetry here--nice tessellation, too!!! Everything lines up so perfectly. Those little rhinestones are the perfect touch. Way to go, Math Chick Meredith!!
