Well.....my first two IC pieces were influence by the silhouette quality of the flowers and the whimsical sun in the bkgd........took a turn on this one......I wanted to challenge myself to make a card without black or navy or chocolate.....I seem to always have a need to pop my images with a dark mat.......so.......this one is influenced by the whimsical quality of the flowers....which I carried through the CB layer with the swirls embossed.......I then stamped the floral bkgd on the base front of the card.......and then I thought I was done.........scanned the card.......and then....really looked at it.....it was BLAH....blah, blah, blah......it needed the perfect ribbon, which I did not have......fut then I thought about that floral theme again and got out the punches.....and now i really am done with this and have created a wedding card.....which is a type of card I have problems with.........so....it was a long journey, but now I am pleased with this card.
thanks for looking

ohh... i haven't seen the first two... on my way backwards through the gallery (just how my mind works..lol) but I think this card is awesome (even if subtle).. i like all of your work.. the subtle, as well as the not-so-subtle *wink*

What a lovely wedding card -- and there's that dimple corner again. I'm still looking for it. I like the floral background on the back layer -- just enough for interest. (And I was pretty sure you weren't going to be able to do a black and white card today! Not with that inspiration.)

Perfectly balanced corners with the flowers and sentiment piece. Love the background paper and the cuttlebug layer. No need for ribbon. Beautiful wedding card as is!!!!!
