Great inspiration pieces, Stef! It's easy to see which one I chose.
I first stamped my images and then embossed with my Cuttlebug embossing folder that matches Inspired by Nature so well. I used a light gray Copic marker to color the bird on the embossing folder.
This is also for my doubledare challenge group to use three shades of one color as issued to us by Francie G. I chose Sahara Sand, Going Gray, and Basic Gray.
TFL!

Love the combo of cb with stamped image. I love this look and I am absolutely thrilled that somebody knows the name of this punch....a dimple corner punch!!!!! Trust me...I have asked. Thanks for the info. Love your little touches of micro pearls, too. Great card, Charlene!!!

i was wishing I had this cb folder so I could use this same inspiration. but alas, I don't. Anyway, this is really fabulous. I love how you continued the image onto the inside. That's great. I also love that corner punch and the soft tone of your color choices.
