This card was totally inspired by several of the Coldwater Creek catalog covers. For the main image I used Glossy CS and the Polished Stone Technique ( mostly YoYo Yellow and Green Galore). After this dried. I stamped over with French Script using Encore Gold. More drying time! Then I took one of the stamps from Petal Prints and stamped on a background of greenergy in several shades.....Green Galore, Old Olive, and Garden Green. I stamped a few of the leafy sprigs from the Art of Life set in Garden Green. I stamped flowers from the Glorious Gifts set using YoYo Ywellow on Whisper White CS. I cut these out and sponged them withj Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie, and YoYo Yellow. I doctored up these blooms a bit using my Aqua Painter and also a brown marker. I added stems for the flowers by drawing with a Garden Green marker. I softened these stems with the Aqua Painter. The flowers were attached and Stickles applies to the centers.

Those flowers look just like you could pluck them off the page. I have always thought the CC pictures would make a beautiful card but you didn't just think about it you actually did it!! I'm impressed.

This is so stunning... lovely card. I often think the covers of Coldwater's catties would make beautiful cards. You've done an awesome job taking it into this!
