Today's inspiration challenge was some lovely packaging, and I chose the orange smoothie cartons as inspiration for my card. I also made this for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge.
I wanted a soft natural look for the Nasturtiums, so I stamped them in white craft ink and embossed them. Then I colored them in with my inks and blender pen. The panels are cut with Labels 1 nesties and sponged with summer sun ink.

Deena, so beautiful! I love these soft colors. And Nasturtiums are one of my favorite flowers! We had a ton of them at our old home, and I used to pick them to float in punches, iced tea and lemon aid. (Yep, they are edible too!) Sweet memory inspried by a very sweet card! TFS
