I want to be buried at Anthropologie! Love this website that Stephanie chose for our Inspiration Challenge this week! Took me a whole minute to find something inspiring, must be a record!!
I went with more of a rust color because I just couldn't match the bag color well with the brown CS I have. I ran a sheet of DP through the SU Finial Press embossing folder, punched a MS Lacey Border onto two of the edges, shaped them just a bit and then layered them onto a Bazzil rust colored CS panel that I had stamped some leaves onto.
Stitched along the top of the layers with rust colored hemp. Made some little tassels (took for-ev-er!!) out of the same hemp and attached them using a SU jumbo eyelet. Finished it off with a TG greeting from SU Holiday Best set.
Thanks for the awesome website Steph! Back to comment later!!

OMGoodness, you did such a good job of making your card look like your inspiration. Love how you made the tassel and the two border punches and then curling them just enough to give dimension. I love it.....

Beautiful paper in this card and I love the tassels! What a nice accent.

I always love the cool effect of stamping on textured cardstock, and it's particularly striking with those bold leaf images ... the layered ruffles just plain rock ... and the button accent is perfect ... fantastic inspired design.
