This is for the Inspiration Challenge IC88 to make a card inspired by a rug. I used Daisy D's papers for the card. I cut one inch squares of daisies and adhered them in a diamond pattern on a piece of choc. chip CS. I then punch holes in each square and drew faux stitching lines. I took a border strip from the paper and adhered it to the rug. Then I placed that panel at an angle across a piece of embossed more mustard. I love roosters and took an image from the DP papers and layered it with another panel of embossed more mustard and placed bronze brads with primas around the edges of that image. I used cranberry crisp ribbon and primas on the hardware in the lower right corner. The beautiful pearls on the corner hardware came from Ellen Hutson's store, they are so perfect, in an amber finish (very antique looking). I then tied a bow with organdy ribbon and attached a bronze charm and bronze cord.
