For the Inspiration Challenge today, Audrie (girlgeek101) provided a great Pinterest board to be inspired by, which is a color blocking board. Audrie always picks great sites for inspiration. Thanks, Audrie!
Of all the images on the board, the shoe and dress caught my eye because of the colors and shapes. The shoe's colors, heel and buckle inspired the left side of my card (i.e. turquoise and pink blocks and a large buckle). The dress inspired the shape and color of all the blocks on the card. I threaded a black ribbon through the buckle to resemble the strip of black fabric running at an angle near the mid-section of the dress. To finish the card, I added the happy birthday sentiment and a silhouette of poppies.
TFL and leaving comments!

This is exceptional! I am seeing a lot of and loving the stitched rectangle dies. This weeks IC is perfect for them. I love that little ribbon slide you've added and paired with the narrow ribbon lends a voguish look.

What a fun card. I love the shoes you took inspiration from. Your colours really pop out of the gallery. This looks like a tricky technique, but it sure paid off as it's very beautiful.
