Wow, Glenda, what beautiful paintings to be inspired by! I loved them all. For today, though I chose to be inspired by the cat in the grass painting.......details......
Wasn't going to do a card today, instead I was going to "really" clean the house. LOL I was changing the sheets on my bed, noticed a dress hanging in the closest and thought, "boy would that make a great bg on a card. I could cut a piece off and fuse it on but then I couldn't wear the dress anymore. Hmmmm. I know, I'll scan it and then I can use it whenever." So I did.
Then when changing the sheets another pattern hit me and I ended up refolding the sheet and scanning it too. So my bg panels today are from a dress and a bed sheet. Go figure, my mind never stops thinking of ideas for cards!
For my images, I used a new SU set I just got. I stamped, clear eb and colored with prisma pencils blending with gamsol my images. The "hidden" cat is from and inchie stamp from Inkadinkado.
Put my two bg panels together on a white card that I sponged and doodled edges. My images were glued on popping up some.
Well, hope you like my inspiration card today. AND I hope I have inspired you to look around for all the different things you can use for making cards, like a dress or sheet! LOL...............TFL :0)

Like Dawn I want to know which is the dress and which the sheet. You reminded me of the time I spent ages getting a good photo of some coat lining, trying to spread the coat out - and then when I checked the scrap drawer, there was enough of the lining for me to take a decent photo and then use the fabric on the card.
I like that little kitty hiding in your lovely garden.
