My card is for Carla aka cmsuto. I am familiar with Carla's awesome gallery of cards and chose this one to case: ssnotime154 Turquoise and Orange Wildflowers by cmsuto at Splitcoaststampers It is really outstanding and I was going to do those colors but wanted to fit into the Inspiration challenge. I must say I am unhappy with my mix of colors. I think it is because I did Halloween yesterday and now back to summer....big difference.
My inspiration for the IC was taken from the colors in this handbag: http://www.tadenberg.de/kategorien/k...ower-confetti/
I am entering my card also into Crazy4Challenges: http://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/ They want to see bling..mine would be the stickles on the leaves and my button.
Carla, enjoy your crown time!!!!

very pretty, I personally like the colors, even though fall is my favorite time of year for the colors and weather, it's scary that winter is just around that corner, so I'll hold onto a little bit of summer with your card, TFS

I love these colors, I was inspired by the same combo - this is beautiful, I really like those long stemmed flowers in the oval, gorgeously sponged bg too!
