Hi everyone, here's the card I made for today's Inspiration Challenge. Tenugui, I found my inspiration under Wuhao New York website found here. http://wuhaonyc.com/catalog/images/b...allow_may2.jpg
What a wonderful website for inspiration. Here's what I did.
Base card is Night of Navy, next is a layer of Doodlebug - Swimming Pool Crushed Velvet which I punched the corners with a decorative corner punch. Added ribbon around this layer. The top layer is Ballet Blue that I stamped Decorative Birds from Hero Arts with VersaMark and embossed in Glacier EP. Stamped the birds again in VersaMark on Ballet Blue and embossed in Navy. Cut the birds out and popped them up on pop dots. Added flowers from SU Pretties with red brads in the center. Sentiment is from On Your Birthday and I stamped in on Night of Navy with VersaMark and embossed with the Glacier EP, punch this out with the SU Word Punch. Cut with Nestabilities and then layered on Night of Navy, which I traced with that little wheel from SU and then cut out.. (Sorry I don't know what that tool is called..) The nestie layers are popped up over the ribbon. Thanks so much for looking...

Snap with the choice of inspiration piece. It was lovely, wasn't it. I love all those white flowers you've used, and especially the squares in the background.
