Here is my card for today's inspiration challenge. Make a card inspired by a beautiful Neiman Marcus Handbag......
Here is my story:
1. The high point of making this card was knowing that when I pierced every single row of little holes in this cardstock, they did not have to be prefectly straight! Whoo Hoo!
2. The low point of making this card was not having a simple large gold ring. I spent 30 minutes looking in every junk drawer in my house and when I told my husband I was gonna call Brenda my neighbor because she has way more junk drawers than me....he said...Cindy, it is 5:30 in the morning...go to plan B!
3. If you really like this card...click on the Neiman Marcus link in the original challenge thread and you can purchase it. It is for sale at the bargain price of $1,499.99. A marketing/advertising expert once told me that things sell better when they are prices with nines....or was it fives....anyway if it makes you feel better, you can pay $1,495.95.
4. My thinking is that if you are gonna pay $3,000 for a purse...what you put in it (this card) should be worth at least half that price!
Have fun shopping!

I am amazed that you can be so creative at 5:30 in the morning. Your card is just so cool! I'll have to give it a try, not at 5:30 in the morning mond you but maybe by 9:00 or so.

Okay, come on over and pick me up off the floor. First, I'm laughing at your funny story and, second, I'm in awe of your beautiful creation!! I love your idea of piercing the entire background to simulate the purse, and those flowers and leaves are to die for! Oh, and I also love the Cuttlebugged centers of the flowers. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

You are too funny, lol! I was up and in my stamp room at 2:00am this morning doing the same thing, looking for something I knew I had, just couldn't find it. Gorgeous card, love all the paper piercing,and the flower centers!
