What a fab site for today's Inspiration Challenge! I chose Salon Bleu and Schliersee. They are both so similar. But I loved the peach/gray combo.
The images are from Our Daily Bread designs. The two backgrounds were stamped with the pigment ink and the edges sponged w/ the same ink and a little of the darker fluid chalk ink on the very edge.
On the sentiment/label, I placed a mask where the sentiment would be and inked the rest DTP (direct to paper) with the pixie dust ink at the top, papaya cream ink in the middle and rose coral ink at the bottom. After it dried, I removed the mask and stamped the label and sentiment with black ink. I really wanted to use gray ink, but it just looked too washed out. I used a white gel pen to add the tiny white dots around the flowers. It was die cut w/ the coordinating Spellbinders Labels 18 die. I die cut a flourish out of some left over DTP c/s and added the two little punched birds and a double bow. The finished card is 6.25 x 4.50 (A6).
Thanks so much for looking! Close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

What a gorgeous card!!!!!!!!! It takes my breath away-just awesome. Would love to see a tutorial of how you made this card (I'm more of a visual learner). I don't have enough words to say how amazed I am with your work. Thanks for sharing your gift.

This is one of those beautiful cards with such clever construction that I have put it in my favorites - not to case - but just to enjoy again in the future.
