The Inspiration Challenge (IC897) this week is Poppy Talk & their Pinterest Board. I found THIS lovely picture to inspire me.
My card is all gold embossed. I started w/ the different ferns then stamped the not so many dots bg across it and the larger white bg, as well. I added the many dots bg to the lower sections then used a pencil eraser to stamp the large dots at the very bottom of the larger bg.
The greeting was embossed onto an oval then I added a larger oval & narrow layers behind the two rectangle panels out of a metallic gold paper. I had a couple of narrow strips of the gold paper left over so I ran them thru my paper crimper to mimic the fan folded elements in my inspiration picture.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics & products: The Write Stuff

A golden beauty, Julie. Love the ferns and dots. I see you used the crimper. I still love mine even if I only occasionally use it.

Your inspiration was beautiful, and this card is even more impressive. The gold and white is so elegant and the ferns add an aura of serenity and peace.
