Today's inspiration challenge took us to the Heavenly Hostess web site where an absolutely heavenly collection of aprons and other kitchen garb could be found! I chose this apron for my inspiration: http://www.heavenlyhostess.com/aprons_fiesta1.html
Very simple card! Used strips of grosgrain ribbon in a rainbow of colors for the colorful lines. The flowers were in my stash of experiments. I had run felt through a zyron to add adhesive backing and then cut the flowers with a Sizzix die. Just peel the paper backing off and I had layered flowers! Added a bling to each. The sentiment is stamped from one of those SU sets that had three stamps with gobs of sayings o them. I cut the varous sayings apart and mounted them on the sides of a set of dominoes. I chose "Fabulous" for this card because I think it speaks well of the colors!!
Fun challenge for an insomniac!! Thanks for taking a closer look!!

WOW! We must of uploaded at the same time this morning, but I went to bed right after. Your take on the apron came out really cute too. I didn't even think to use felt for flowers, great job!
