I chose this one as my inspiration from the bathroom accessories collection because of the background...dead ringer for PTI's new Background Basics: Retro set! I also looked at the vase and it looked very similar to SU's Bloomin' Beautiful. http://www.roomservicehome.com/productsl2.asp?dept=592
I colored the vase with a silver marker and added the silver ribbon to keep the feel of the stainless in the inspiration. What do you think about the silver ribbon? I also popped up four of the flowers in the vase for more dimension.
On another note, Joanne (aka sleepyinseattle) and I have chosen the same inspiration piece (totally coincidentally) for the past three weeks! And there have been many to choose from lately! I haven't looked yet in the gallery to see if she posted her card yet, but I'm anxious to see if we have a four-peat this week!

Wow! You're right...your bg paper is perfect for the bath collection inspiration you chose. Like how you colored your vase with the silver marker and the ribbon is so pretty.

Beautiful card. I love the way you popped the flowers and added the pearls. The colors are so soft and pretty.
