This is for the Inspiration Challenge today featuring Moyna Bags. Fabulous site, Lori, thank you! I picked about a dozen images and here is my first based on the handbag here: http://moynabags.com/cgi-local/SoftC...3e9+1257367301.
I needed a shimmery card so I pretty much just took the colors and sketch from this handbag. I tried to incorporate paisley in a more prominent manner, but it just wasn't working.
As I am prone to do, I let the papers do most of the work for me on this super simple card. The black and copper panels are embossed in an unknown paisley bg with clear embossing powder. The image on the bronze panel is embossed in black. The bottom layer is a cream and gold handmade dp from India.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Now this is one rich and elegant card, Miss Stamp Muse! It just shouts of everything regal. Love the papers. You image is so perfect and adds just the right element of balance. Gorgeous card. Will we be seeing more? BTW, you didnt wait for me last night, did you? I dont call to tell you I'd be late and then I just decided the heck with you: You're too much of a party animal for me anyway!

This is super pretty. I love that flower - in fact, I think I have that stamp, LOL. It looks beautiful with the embossing and your rich papers. Thanks so much for playing!
