This card is for today's inspiration challenge. Thanks, Stef!!! Okay, I have finally finished this card. I kept looking at the Sarah Collier's site off and on today trying to choose an inspiration piece. I finally settled on this one. Summer Fun
I am using Cornish Heritage Farms(CHF) Toile Backgrounder and Mono Lisa's Motivational Centers sets. I tried to follow the inspiration picture using the images that I have. I have two butterflies, a rooster which is the bird, and the lady with scene image accounted for. LOL!!! I sponged one side of the image with Ranger antique linen and tea dyed to give the tonal effect of the patterned packaging. I finished with layered prima flowers, key tag punch sentiment, and gold pearls.
Fiskars Border Punch TIP: I used the Fiskars effervescent border punch which I tucked in to give it more of the apron lace Fiskars styling which I love but do not own. However, I really love the way it looks so I thought I would share how you can get two looks for one purchase!!!

this is so gorgeous, Betty...it looks like fabric in a sample book...so pretty! I love the punched border, thanks for the tip. I've got this backgrounder on my wish list...just waiting for the funds or my birthday, which ever comes first!
