TodayÂ’s Inspiration Challenge has some beautiful objects! I was inspired many but for my card, I chose THIS. I like the soft teal blue & the diagonal design.
The large floral egg was stamped on white using soft pool ink then I stamped it again on the back side of the designer paper & cut it out to make the frame. I wove a diagonal lattice pattern across the back of the frame using strips of vellum.The smaller egg was stamped, die cut & attached on top. I added the corner die cuts & a greeting that I lightly sponged w/ the same ink while it was still in the die. A bunch of pearls were added to the lattice & small egg.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Adore your weaving of the vellum!! I love to weave so I must try that! Your layers and techniques resulted in a beautiful and artful take on the inspiration! Straight to my faves! (You're gonna inspire this CAS girl to try layers a lot more often!)

Julie, this is so beautiful! Weaving the vellum strips was a spectacular idea, and I love the tiny egg in the center surrounded by the pearls. The corner elements look fantastic and the sentiment banner works perfectly!
