This is my card for this week's challenge to be inspired by Restoration Hardward Baby and Child suggested by gabalot (Gabby). What a place!! I was inspired by the sleigh on the wall in one of the pictures in the catalogue, but I can't get the link to work. It matters not.....my card, as it happens, looks nothing like the sleigh on the wall or anything like where I started or what I meant.....LOL!!
The "sleigh" is done with distress inks and alcohol blending solution. The embellishment is a poppy husk given to me by a friend from her garden.
TFL!

Whatever it was that inspired you sure took you to a fabulous place! I love that metallic looking bg and the additions of items from nature really make this unique and special.

Who cares what the inspiration was. Whatever you saw, you sure ended up with something outrageously gorgeous. I love your blending and now I'm a wannabe. Wow! The contrast of the seed pod, leaves and bow sets it off to perfection.
