This is my card for today's Inspiration challenge. We were to visit a website called Flutter and get inspired! I was inspired by a Fancy Bar of Soap! Snort!
This is my story!
1. Last night before I went to bed I checked the challenge and picked out the direction I was going to go.
2. When I got up this morning, the Photographer said to me when I came down the stairs, what are you up to? (As if he doesn't know!) Snort! I said I am gonna make a card that looks like a bar of soap!
3. He said a bar of soap? Then he proceeded to tell me that my brain was Stamp-a-fried! That must mean fried by working so hard thinking up ways to make cards! What else could it mean? Snort!
4. Anyway, this is sorta one of those shadow box card thingys but I made it a little differently mostly because I didn't wanna spend the time to track down the directions in order to do it the real way.
5. There is an acetate panel over the oval window that I stamped the sentiment on. That's it, for my bar of soap!

For $24 that must be one luxurious bar of soap! Hey! I know! Since you are stamp-a-fried, you should make a card based on that movie Fried Green Tomatoes. Yeah, mon!
Love your gorgeous Easter card, Cindy! The lillies are stunning! Like some of the others wrote, only a true dirty girl would find inspiration in a bar of soap! :-)

Love what you did with a simple lily Cindy...the card is gorgeous...but hey, where's the soap? Did you *borrow* it for your morning shower...the description on that soap sounded so good, a warm Amber...now I am craving a shower with soap.
I am always stunned how creatively you use your stamps, love the paper, the fence border, the black just makes it pop...wonderful!!

Cindy~ this is so beautiful! (Soap? Who woulda thunk it?) I love the flowers popped this way, and love your 'signature' boxes! They are my favorites. I also think you can never be Stamp-a-Fried, too many great ideas in that noggin! I love your work sistah!
