I know this is a cop-out, but I wasn't getting any inspiration from the other images -- and I went through all 31 pages. I used the colors and the pattern on her skirt for my inspiration.

Oh no Corie, this is not what I would call a copout!!! Please no, this is such a pretty and bright card. I love the congratulation sentiment in lavender. I am so glad you made a card. Don't let the art detrack from your beautiful inspiration there! I don't mean to be hard, but give yourself a good pat on the back, I would if I could. I love your card. TFS oh and yes, I truly mean what I'm saying here, in a couple of minutes, you will see I am not the only one that thinks so.

I am going thru the gallery, and I see this! Then I read your deets, and am laughing so hard at myself! Lol- I looked and looked, and this IC just was not for me! I copped out! I struggle with Asian influence, and Art Deco. Lol- you did it, and did a wonderful job at that! Your colors are great (they made me look!) and I love your sentiment. This will make a great encouragement card! Thanks for sharing your work- I was happy to see it!

No cop out here my dear, this is so bold bright and beautiful! I love how you were inspired by the skirt colors and just went with it. Your colorful flowers are arranged ever so nicely on this wonderful card. Just like the sentiment says, "Congratulations!" ....on a job well done. You Done Good. TFS :0)

Even though Erte may not be your style you have indeed been inspired. You've made a beautiful card using these vibrant colors. You took what you liked or thought you could work with and you ran with it - that's inspiration, not a cop-out in any form. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing with the rest of us.
