For the Inspiration Challenge, Stacy chose U.S. Mint Sheets. I've always had a thing for postage stamps & I have a good size collection of mostly used stamps. I just love the artwork on stamps! I chose a stamp that I actually have & I found it on the site, but since then, I guess they sold out & it doesn't show up anymore but THIS it is.
My Tiffany lamp was gold embossed onto a polished stone bg I made using Copic refills, rubbing alcohol & a gold leaf marker. After embossing the lamp & the book, I fussy cut them & added them to a pine green layer w/ a long window cut out. I added a pale peach layer behind it & gold embossed the greeting. The little butterflies were punched out of some leftovers of the bg. Little strips of the green that I cut w/ postage stamp scissors were added around the green layer.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

This is beautiful! I love your window behind the book. The lamp is so elegant! A very fun idea having the butterflies flit up from the book!! Beautiful card!

Beautiful, Julie. Love the image and the butteflies coming out of the book are so thought-provoking. Could be knowledge or freedom or flights of fancy, etc. Love it!
