I took my inspiration from several of the elements found in IC76 photographs of Target's girls' bedroom collection.
First, I loved the reverse dot print in the beanbag, so I reproduced that with a background stamp from http://www.cornishheritagefarms.com/ If you haven't tried their background stamps, they extend beyond the edge of a standard card front and are deeply etched for great coverage.
Next, I mimicked the pieced triangle look on the beanbag by piecing floral paper (behind the large bloom). I also liked the flowers and the colored rickrack on the lampshade. I didn't have any colored rickrack, so I ran my white rickrack through the lime pastel inkpad. I like the distressed effect it produced.
Another fun inspiration!

Wow, good job of compromising with the ric rac! I love how you pulled so many elements of the room into your card...It is just precious...and the sentiment is very appropriate!

Love this card---the soft, muted colors are a fresh breath of spring! My son says they are 'fabulous'!! (And he's obviously got great taste!) Awesome interpretation of outside inspiration! Keep 'em coming!
