This is my first stab at both an Artist Trading Card and a swap. Thanks so much to Jen (genie1314) for inviting me to take part!
I was going for a spring-y look (like the season, not Tigger's tail), and had found this awesome paper at Michael's (on clearance, no less) that I thought would be perfect with the theme. The "Inspire" setiment is stamped on acetate with white StazOn ink and punched out with the Word Window Punch, then tucked into the pink scalloped fold-over. Also a little hard to see in the pictures is the paper piercing around the edges of the largest flower layer.

This is such a pretty card. I'm into pale colors right now due to the wedding shower card I made. But what I'm really interested in is your paper piercing around the petals of the flower. Definately going to case this idea. Thank you for blessing my day.
