This is for today's Inspiration Challenge and is based on this sewing illustration at the Muyuki Sakai website - it's the delicate yellow flowers on the bottom right hand side of her garden section: http://miyukisakai.com/frameset/Frameset-portfolio.html
I stamped the grass from Inspired by Nature across the bottom of the card and then used the Stampendous stamp for these yellow flowers, their name has slipped my mind, but I'm sure some of you more up on your botanicals can set me right! I added some gems and ribbon - then I sprayed across the whole card with Irridescent Glitter Spray, great stuff as it gives a sparkle to absolutely everything, including the ribbon, not sure how well it shows up here.

This may be a sympathy card (cards I find difficul), but it is also a happy card -- sure to make the grieving recipient feel a little better. Love your yellow flowers.

Bridget, you got to play twice! How fun! I hope to get a chance to make another one for this IC challenge, too, this week. This card is a ringer for M. Sakai's flowers.

This is just beautiful. I love the look of little delicate flowers going across the page. I wish we could see the shimmer but it is very difficult to capture with the camera. Great ribbon treatment.

So serene and comforting, Bridget. I really like how you created the ribbon trim...that color combined with the sentiment makes for one gentle card. Very pretty.
