Posting my card for the Inspiration Challenge this weekend. The website is "French Garden House" and the inspiration piece for my card is this awesome antique 1870s "French Bird Faience" plate. Love.
I used my new Fiskars Fuse letterpress system to make this card. (EEEEK!! BD gift from DH. Can you say "spoiled"??!!) I inked up the letterpress plate, ran it through the Fuse and it pressed, stamped, and die cut the card all in one pass.
I added some stamped toile leaves and a few Dimensional Pearls to complete the design.
Minutes from start to finish! Happy Anne!!
Come along and join me in the Inspiration Challenge this weekend!!

Boy oh boy! That hubby of yours is a keeper! I love the depth of the image ... one of the first things that intrigued me before I read your story! Love this, Anne!

A "keeper" DH, Anne! What a lovely card to make with his thoughtful gift to add to your craft cache. At first, I thought we might have used the same inspiration...but, no. We even titled our cards the same. Love the circular design of your card...like the plate. A FABULOUS site for today.....Thank you.
