My card for this week's Inspiration Challenge comes from this Rose Rush Rug from Everything Turquoise. I loved the graphic black & white design border by turquoise.
I stamped Hero Arts Leaf and Flower image in Black and bordered with it a thin strip of black cardstock & turquoise designer paper.
To finish, I added a sentiment and some coordinating turquoise pearls.

How lovely, Stef. I love how the black really accents this color. It's going to be a gorgeous gallery today with this awesome turquoise color as the inspiration.

This is a wonderful card! I love how you incorporated the print and colors from the inspiration rug into your card design so perfectly! The turquoise pearls are a great addition, too.

You created a wonderful image panel with your flower and leaf stamps, Stef. Doing it in black/white made it all the more dramatic. The turq DP sets it off. Fun site today!
