The Inspiration Challenge (IC746) has a lot to inspire! I used THIS picture as inspiration for my card. They were using an alcohol ink bg & alcohol lift ink so I made a reddish AI bg & used the lift ink to stamp the stripes, then die cut the flowers.
The circle/squares die was used for the bg & I put a piece of blue/green shaving cream bg behind it as contrast to the red flowers. Then I couldn't decide how to arrange the flowers. I bet that never happens to you! The angled corner piece was hanging out so I told it to suit up, stamped the greeting on it & tucked the flowers inside. For a touch of sparkle, I added a few clear sequins.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ closeups & product links: The Write Stuff

What a great design Julie. I love it. The corner pocket is such a cool idea for the beautiful flowers. I love the bits of bg showing through that neat die cut.
