For the Inspiration Challenge (IC737), Stacy chose a group of tote bags. Lots to choose from & for my card, I was inspired by the bright colors of THIS tote bag.
After I colored the daisies, I used a trio of blue Copics to color in the bg around the flowers. Thankfully it was a small area because itâs harder than it looks. And from experience, start w/ the lightest color first..itâs really hard to walk that dark color back, lol. I added a white frame to brighten it up a bit then attached it to the embossed orchid colored bg. I thought this embossing folder mimicked the quilting of the tote bag & I used a white gel pen to add dots at the intersections. The greeting was stamped w/ the dk navy ink & I drew the little flower over the i.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ Copics colors & all the product links: The Write Stuff

I am loving the wonderful vibrant colors and how well they combine and what a punch of color especially the background in blue and the fuschia layer bring to this card. The white frame and the sentiment stamped on white really stand out in contrast which is fantastic. The little butterflies add some great texture and depth, fantastic!

I love how your background mimics the quilting on your inspiration. Gorgeous color combo! The butterflies look like they are ready to flutter off the card.
