Happy Saturday, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge is to find inspiration from a Napkin Board on Pinterest. I'm a sucker for royal blue, so I chose this awesome photo as inspiration for my card today. I focused on the gingham, silver, and royal blue. The silver (mirror paper) frames were cut out with the ODBD Custom Layered Lacey Ovals Dies; the white ovals were cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Ovals Dies and matted in blue ovals cut with the ODBD Custom Ovals Dies set. The coneflower and partial sentiment from 'Forever Friends' were stamped in blue. For bonus points (to incorporate a monogram), the 'F' from 'Flourished Alphabet' was stamped, then a portion of the sentiment stamp was inked with a marker to complete the word. The Gingham Background was stamped then cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies (resized to be half of the rectangle width); the white panel was cut with the same die. The three silver hearts used as embellishments were by-products from the sentiment frame...can you see all of the tiny hearts? LOVE this die!! Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

I loved the picture you chose from that awesome board as well - the crisp white and royal blue is so striking; your gingham stamping and the silver paper you used for the die cut ovals are just gorgeous!
