What a beautiful inspiration challenge!! I was inspired by some of their gorgeous porcelain. I especially loved the purple flowers on this Pear Shaped Floral Limoges Box..
For today's card, I used ODBD Earth's Gladdest Day and Seeds . I stamped the crocus and embossed it in black on watercolor paper and then colored and painted with watercolor markers. I then embossed the background with a SU embossing folder to make it look like Aida cloth ( I know the inspiration did not have the texture but I just wanted to add texture). The sentiment from Seeds was stamped in Stazon Purple ink on a Spellbinders Fancy Framed Tags Two.
Thanks for looking!! Thanks for a great inspiration Stef!!

beautiful card, Chris. I gazed for the longest time, thought I had taken in all the pretty details and then I saw the beautiful edge...it brings it all back 'home'. So pretty
