Inspired by Others . . .

Hello fellow bloggers!  I hope you are having a fabulous start to your week.

While blog hopping last evening I came across THIS Anniversary card created by Stamping Anja and couldn't wait to case it.  I've had this homemade flower sitting on my work table for a week and knew it would be perfect for this creation.

Here is the recipe for my card:
Papers - White, Olive green, Plum purple cardstock
Inks - Versafine Black and Momento 'Bamboo Leaves', Momento 'Canteloupe'
Accessories - Darice 'Periwinkle' organza ribbon, Cheery Lynn Designs 'Build a Flower #1' (B181) die set, Sizzix 'Branch w/leaves' die, Martha Stewart 'Frond' & 'Branch' punches, Fiskars border punch, Liquid Pearls, McGill Flower Making Kit & Black Mat, Cuttlebug 'Swirls' EF, Glimmer Mist


I just love being inspired by all you fabulous crafters!
Now let me check Feline Playful and see if there are a few other challenges that I can share my creation with.  
Lollipop Crafts #83 - Flowers in Bloom
Make It Monday #93 - Anything Goes
 The Crazy Challenge #122 - Recipe: Ribbon/Twine, Gems/Pearls, Dies/Punches
Great Impressions - Die Cuts / Punches (2nd entry)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today!
I only hope I inspire some of you and much as you have inspired me!
Hugs,
Darlene

    Love how you used what I think of the reverse side of the embossed and filled in the dots. That is So clever. I love it, so elegant, perfect of an anniversary or wedding. Thanks for the inspiration! Glad I saw it on MIM. Deb

    Darlene, this is gorgeous. Love your hand made flower. such sparkle, I know the camera doesn't pick glitter up well so it must look amazing in reality!

    I came over from your link at MIM. I'm #16 & #130 this week. I'd love it if you stopped by to check them out.

    Cheers,
