Here is my take on the Inspirational Challenge for today. Boy~ this card was really hard for me. I love the colors lavender and purple, but I really don't feel comfortable with coordinating with other colors (aside from my fav-blue). I futzed around with many colors for hours and finally settled on a touch of pink and then glued it down... for better or worse.

Well now, Marilyn, this is one mighty pretty card with just a hint of pink! Love your dp and those border punches! They really add to the dimension and presentation. this is really fabulous in those pinks and purples. So glad to know you'll be around much more! Life is good.

Great job matching the stamping to designer paper, I have that paper and must remember how well that image works with it. The flowers and gems looks nice too.
