Hi Everyone! This card is for Friday's F4A341 Challenge - to use gems on your card, and for today's IC561 Challenge - to find inspiration from the site Designspiration. That was quite an interesting website. It seemed to be never ending with images of all sorts. I narrowed the selection down to flowers and butterflies, and this is my first card. Here's my inspiration piece: Louise O'Reilly Visual Arts : Botanical . I liked the warm yellows and the simplicity of it.
To make this card I started by stamping/coloring the flowers, then I stamped the main flower again, cut/colored and popped it over the first. Next I lightly sponged the background, stamped the sentiment, and adhered the frame. Then I added the Friend tag and pearls. Last step was to add the linen thread bow, and flower centers.
At that point our Internet was still down from the storm (along with the Cable - poor hubby!), so I decided to stamp some more .
Thanks everyone for taking a peek.
Hugs,
Audrey

I would have to say you did justice to your inspiration piece because I love what you made! These bright happy blooms are just fabulous. I love that you popped them up with additional cutout pieces. The twine centers are just fabulous and so is the light sponging you did around the flowers. The sweet frame and pearls are the perfect finishing touches on this gorgeous card! ~Karen.

Just beautiful! I particularly like the linen flower centers on those pretty flowers - very unique and fun! The frame is perfect on this beautiful card, too.
