Ok - so I made the mistake of looking for the inspiration challenge at midnight - and now it's 1:30 am and I'm loading my card!!!
Stef gave us pics of a lovely bedroom to be inspired by and I chose this picture (check out the door panels reflected in the mirror or seen behind the chair - that's what inspired me.) here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
This is a 6x6 card to accomodate these large Asian panel stamps by Stamp Oasis - the one on the left is called Spring and the one on the right is Fall.
I used my new narrow rectangle nestabilities to create the woodwork framing (see, I DID need to get those!) and some SU hardware brads for the door knobs (Thanks LeAnne!)
I used Color Box ice blue chalk ink on Very Vanilla with Buckaroo Blue panels. It's all mounted on a piece of speckled vanilla that was in an SU designer 12 x 12 pack.
This is a very simple card but I love the way it came out - just like I envisioned it - I love when that happens - don't you!!??

The panels are awesome and the hardware is perfect - a very lovely Asian card.

I bought those two stamps and the other two that go with them, and then I had no clue what to do with them! Love how your card turned out--definitely looks like a lot of the antique Chinese cabinets I've seen for sale here. Beautiful!

This is just stunning. The hardware is the perfect touch. You perfectly captured the feeling of the inspiration room. See, it was worth staying up to create such a beautiful card.
