A lovely inspiration challenge today and I used the lilac/white/pale green set for my colour inspiration. Unfortunately I'm unable to make a link to the picture.
I used my Penny Black Sweet Pea Image which was inked using a paintbrush and distress inks then stamped on white card and embossed with detail clear EP. The edges were distressed, torn, then sponged with lavender and old paper. Image and sentiment (also embossed with clear ep) are matted on Eau de nil bazzil card and mounted over the background paper that I made in photoshop, printed out and distressed in the same way as the image. I added ribbons, some sponged flowers and gems to finish. TFL.

This is some pretty card Chris. Love the lavender and those cutie flowers with the tiny bling. Do you mean if I have photoshop I can print some paper like this! Wow, I have to learn how to do this. Nice flowers! TFS
