This is my submission for IC131. The bedroom we were to take inspiration from was gorgeous with soft Blues, Greens, Pinks, Gray, Rose, and pops of brighter rose and green. Just gorgeous!
I used some pretty dp from K&CO for my bg, mounted on a unknown medium shade of gray. The image is stamped with SU! Markers direct to stamp in Regal Rose and Certainy Celery. It is edged with regal rose direct ink pad to paper, and mounted on a pretty green striped dp from the same line, then the gray for definition. I'm so sorry I can't get a good picture this morning! The gorgeous stripes don't show up in the green matting, and the ribbon looks more brown than the pretty shimmery silver gray that it is IRL... Took tons of pics but just can't get it.
A basic card, but has a good feel to it. I chose the floral image from the vase of flowers that inspired me in the photo. There are Icicle Stickles on the BG. The card is 5 1/4" square.
Thanks for looking and I hope you like it!

oh, Grace, I like this card ALOT! I just sat and stared at the roses, they are done so beautifully...I love how you smeared the bg of that image with the colors...it creates a depth. The DP is perfect for the challenge and the stickles just a great finishing touch! I understand about the photographing...my card is so light, I was worried about it 'lookin' "right". Congratulations on a lovely card!
