OMG!! I can't believe this came out of my stamp room... This card is for the IC91 Challenge. The inspiration was a "beaded" handbag... Well, it's beaded alright.. Did I say OMG? When I first saw this bag, I thought it was down right ugly... Then I looked at it again, still think it's ugly, but I saw the colors... turquoise, eggplant, teal.. and of course a little bit of gold accent. so i went with the colors... then i saw the turquoise tear drops and thought of flower petal.. I set the petals up on my card to match the layout of the purse. Then of course there are random blings and gold around so I added the bling to the flower center, and the gold brads randomly in the cb backgroud which is circles that also match the purse... I added a "tassle", sortof.. never frayed ribbon before, and needed the beads... So I added beads around all the elements as well again going with the inspiration of the bag... So this is what I came up with.. OMG!!! I don't know if you read any of this, but not sure if I should say enjoy or die laughing.. The choice is yours.. Have a great day!!! This card WILL NOT be on my blog... LOL
TFL!!!

Your story cracks me up!! There are some good ideas in there that could be considered blog worthy--great colors and the bead edged petals are really cool looking! The IC is always a fun journey--sometimes I arrive in record time and others I have to be towed off the highway (lol)!
