After reading the details about how the site was started and learning that this couple's love of unique interior design products sourced from around the world, I thought of travel and the beautiful Paris Eiffel Tower that glistens when it lights up at night.
Somehow these long style Edison light bulb designs reminded me of the fantastic glittery, sparkly, golden Eiffel Tower....
To match my inspirational piece, I even added a gold circle behind the tip of the Eiffel tower to resemble light and the Empirical Style piece.
I must give great Credit to the amazingly talented Linda D, of (Linda's Work of Heart); http://lindaduke.typepad.com
She always provides such wonderful inspiration with her incredibly gorgeous designs. I love her shabby French style and so I followed her Paris design and layout for mine when creating this one for the Inspirational Challenge. Thank you Linda D!

This is the Eiffel Tower at night - all gold and glittery when it's lit up. It's a beautiful sight. So I don't think it's so crazy! You took me down memory lane. Great take on your chosen inspiration to create this beauty!

Oh. My. GOSH. My jaw hit the floor when I saw this. I just want to bathe in the beauty of this card. I am such a sucker for the color gold, and this card delivers in spades. WOW. Love every single thing about it. And I adore that tiny little Eiffel Tower charm - the perfect finishing touch on a solid gold winner.
Oh yeah, and I faved it even before commenting. This one is going to be enjoyed many times over. WOW.
