I started this card Saturday for the Inspiration Challenge. Audrie had us check out Integrity Graphics Esty shop. This is the photo I used for inspiration:
I embossed some flowers with the white EP, then started sponging on some color. Unfortunately, the ochre really is so light it makes it hard to see the flower unless it catches the light. Then I stamped the wheat and the agapathus (I think that is what that is called) When I stamped the sentiment on the front, it was a little crooked. Oy! So I cut it out the crooked sentiment, using a spellbinders die. Now it is like a window to see the inside of the card.
I finished up the card when I saw the beautiful colors for this weeks color challenge. Peggy gave us a Coastal Saffron Tango to try. All I needed was a little of the Coastal Cabana color (I used a close ColorBox color) and called it done.

Wonderful little touches of color along with a window into your message. Fabulous card.
