What a beautiful, yummy site for today's inspiration challenge! I went with the Gradient Cake. I just love gradient color and I thought the colors would work well w/ this hydrangea image and little punched flowers.
I made the deckle edge strips first by using the lg deckle scissors then sponging on the 3 pearlescent inks in shades from light to dark. The strips were overlapped and are just a bit narrower that my 4.25 x 5.5 white card.
The hydrangea image was stamped w/ the same ink several times. I used the small deckle scissors to cut them out. The ribbon tag frame was stamped and die cut and the sentiment is actually 4 small words that I arranged this way and die cut w/ small classic oval, I added the ribbon (no idea where I got it) before attaching to the card.
The hydrangea petals were punched out of some left over sponged c/s and I added a little darker ink to the edges. I used a stylus to give them some shape then glued them on.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Lovely card. I love what you did with the shaded edges in overlapping order. The punched out flowers are also a lovely touch. Very elegant. Thanks for sharing it.

Awesome card. I chose the same cake as my inspiration for my card. The colors on the cake and the details were beautiful. You captured the inspiration of the cake wonderfully. I love all the details and how you incorporated the gradient of the cake into your card.
