Encouraging Inspiration
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: mamaxsix

 This clock http://www.bluecarrotshop.com/detail...39&CatID=2 was the inspiration for my card for the HYCCT and Inspiration challenges. I would normally use Scripture verses, but due to the guidelines for the HYCCT challenge I had to find another encouraging quote. I have a book of inspirational quotes that I cut this from. It made me think of the inspiration clock right away with the elements of wood and roses that went so well with the quote. I made a piece of polished stone paper then embossed my roses (actually this step took a lot longer as I experimented with how to actually do the roses...not gold! etc) I had thought I'd put them in the corners as in the clock, but ended up liking them better underneath. I layered over some Early Espresso to which I'd added a wood grain using the Distressed Texturz plate inked with the same ink. I added some gems and gold cord and it was done. I went with a square card as was the clock and I'm really pleased with how it all pulled together in the end!

Great card. I'm looking for that fragile blossom too.

Beautiful polished stone background and warming colours, and such a great quote. It's taken me ALL day to find a quote I was happy with - I'd usually use my ODBB Scripture verses - and I think I'm going to wait for a daylight photo now, because the flash is flaring on my embossing.
