Our own Kittie is the chosen inspiration this week. Her work is one-of-a-kind....and ALWAYS EXQUISITE!!...and indeed, inspiring.
I needed a card for my husband's aunt who will be celebrating her 90th birthday at a luncheon in a few weeks. Knowing her, she would enjoy something frilly and feminine. Kittie's creations inspired me to make something with that "elaborate" feeling. I didn't CASE any particular card, but hoped to capture the feeling of many of Kittie's floral-inspired cards.
(I regret that I will not have the time to comment today, but will be back tomorrow to peruse the IC gallery and do so tomorrow.) : )

This is so gorgeous that you have inspired me to look at my punches and die cuts. You have created a masterpiece with soft colors and die cuts, two styles that I struggle with. The ef frame goes so nicely with your whole design. Just beautiful.

Soft pink and shining gold - the perfect combination for a 90th birthday. You've really captured the grace and sophistication that only a 90-year-old can possess. I love the 3-D flowers, and it adds to the card's elegance that you used very pale leaves to embellish them. Thanks for sharing this lovely creation!

Sallie this is so frilly and feminine..sure to please anyone! Those roses look so yummy..kind of remind me of fancy frosting flowers. A fabulous tribute to our talented Kittie!
Sallie, your aunt will adore this card. It is so perfect for an elderly lady. Your rolled roses are perfect and are such a perfect embellishment with the sentiment. I love this. Thank you so much for playing today. It means so much to me.
