Today's Inspiration Challenge takes us to Poketo, and here is the photo I chose because of the earthy, neutral colours - Organic Artisan Soaps. The card is designed with gray, kraft, cream and similar earthy colours, and is also for a Flourishes Beautiful World Tour challenge in which the theme was Neutrals. All edges have been sponged with Ranger inks for a distressed look. The image was watercoloured, spritzed with ink, dotted with a black fine line pen and then highlighted with a white gel pen.

The neutral colors are beautiful, they go so well together, I gotta try that combo! I love this card, sort of down-home vintage-y loveliness! The gingham background and doily are perfect additions to the card. Thanks for joining the IC this weekend Bridget!
