I can't say that I was inspired by any one pin on the pinterest board for today's Inspiration Challenge. I will say that this is what I was inspired to make after looking through all the beautiful mixed media pins here. So many women in so many dreamy settings....
I also smashed some flowers--white impatiens, so be specific with my Big Shot. The green blob didn't look like a whole lot after it was dry. What I did see in it (can anyone say rorschach test?--Don't psycho-analyze my card!!) was a filmy, dreamy evening gown and somewhat of a face up top. I used the head and arms from the Seaside Sketches shell digging lady to give some definition to the top. I added one line with my journaling pen to give some definition to the gown. I didn't color in anything on the card besides the face and arms--so you could see what the flower had colored.
I was looking for something soft in the ribbon department when I hit upon the idea of using the lace for a shawl draped over her arm. It turned out to be the perfect finishing touch for her outfit....and it made that awkwardly bent arm have a function.

Beautiful piece! Love the scripture! Every time there is a 31st of the month, my DH brings me flowers or something nice. I asked him why and he said I was his Proverbs 31 woman! Oh, he is such a sweetie! Love your gorgeous piece!
