I love Saturdays. I love Audrie's challenges when I have time to play. Our esteemed challenger linked us to a site called "Petals". As the name indicates, it's a sight where you can find all things flowery.
My inspiration came from the white orchids here: http://www.petals.com/potted-artific...-accent/fla841. I love orchids and I especially love white orchids. Since I know nothing about coloring flowers, that was my choice or the path of least resistance.
Enjoy your day unleashing your creativity for Audrie's very special site. Great challenge, my friend.

Such a warm design, with just enough color to be a spectacular take on the inspiration (the rings of gold along the side are the perfect touch)! Thank you for being so beautifully inspired! Your ingenious designs truly inspire me!

Orchids like this are so artfully Asian, and we all know how you love Asian inspired everything!! I really love the dimension of this card, with the gold looping behind the panel!! Ms. Anne, this is a beauty!

Bestill my heart- this is breathtaking! I love this delicate white orchid image, the lovely stitched panels, and the gold wire looped in between the panels. This is so classy and so elegant, and it is going into my favorites. ~Karen.
