A lovely inspiration challenge today and I used the lilac/white/pale green set for my colour inspiration. Unfortunately I'm unable to make a link to the picture.
I used my Penny Black Sweet Pea Image which was inked using a paintbrush and distress inks then stamped on white card and embossed with detail clear EP. The edges were distressed, torn, then sponged with lavender and old paper. Image and sentiment (also embossed with clear ep) are matted on Eau de nil bazzil card and mounted over the background paper that I made in photoshop, printed out and distressed in the same way as the image. I added ribbons, some sponged flowers and gems to finish. TFL.

Chris, this is awesome!!! Love how you painted the flowers and the distressing....WOW!! I love that look but when I do it, it just looks like I made a big mistake. I wish I could get a lesson from you somehow. You are definetly an expert. Great card, Chris. Another one in my favorite file!!!
