Wow, Glenda, what beautiful paintings to be inspired by! I loved them all. For today, though I chose to be inspired by the cat in the grass painting.......details......
Wasn't going to do a card today, instead I was going to "really" clean the house. LOL I was changing the sheets on my bed, noticed a dress hanging in the closest and thought, "boy would that make a great bg on a card. I could cut a piece off and fuse it on but then I couldn't wear the dress anymore. Hmmmm. I know, I'll scan it and then I can use it whenever." So I did.
Then when changing the sheets another pattern hit me and I ended up refolding the sheet and scanning it too. So my bg panels today are from a dress and a bed sheet. Go figure, my mind never stops thinking of ideas for cards!
For my images, I used a new SU set I just got. I stamped, clear eb and colored with prisma pencils blending with gamsol my images. The "hidden" cat is from and inchie stamp from Inkadinkado.
Put my two bg panels together on a white card that I sponged and doodled edges. My images were glued on popping up some.
Well, hope you like my inspiration card today. AND I hope I have inspired you to look around for all the different things you can use for making cards, like a dress or sheet! LOL...............TFL :0)

Well, who woulda thought.... What a great idea to use a dress and a bedsheet for a bg. Turned out beautifully. I love the sunflowers and the cat peeking out. I'm glad you made a card instead continued cleaning. That can always wait!!!!
Fabulous card.

Cathy, I love how your creative mind is always thinking. A dress and a sheet. I can see the dress, but my sheets are plain white so I guess I'll have to look elsewhere. I love your little hidden cat. Great job gf.

You are just way too clever!!! I wouldn't ever in a million years have thought to scan a dress much less a bed sheet. This is totally Awesome!!!
I hope you know... now I'm going to be going around looking for things to scan, and will owe it all to you!
