Inspiration Challenge Saturday May 2, 2009


I created this card for the Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.com.

I was inspired by this dress HERE.

I also was able to use NEW stamps for May from Clear Dollar Stamps. This set is called Words Of Gratitude. I think it is so elegant.

I used Tempting Turquoise textured paper and ran it thru the cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls embossing folder. I then used Galaxy Gold ink to highlight the raised edges.
I used Fine Gold EP to emboss the sentiment and the prima, which was originally white. I used my Martha Stewart Arched Lattice punch to create the decorative edges. After adding some ribbon and gold cording my card was done.

I was quite pleased with how it turned out since I don't usually used bright colours. I hope you like it too. Thanks for looking.
