Our own Kittie is the chosen inspiration this week. Her work is one-of-a-kind....and ALWAYS EXQUISITE!!...and indeed, inspiring.
I needed a card for my husband's aunt who will be celebrating her 90th birthday at a luncheon in a few weeks. Knowing her, she would enjoy something frilly and feminine. Kittie's creations inspired me to make something with that "elaborate" feeling. I didn't CASE any particular card, but hoped to capture the feeling of many of Kittie's floral-inspired cards.
(I regret that I will not have the time to comment today, but will be back tomorrow to peruse the IC gallery and do so tomorrow.) : )
