This card was inspired by the one on page 137 of the new catalog. I used some of the papers and images I had on hand to recreate it. First, the flowers I chose come from the It's Beautiful jumbo wheel. I was hemming and hawing over getting the A Beautiful Thing set (I still am!) and the wheel seemed like a good compromise. I inked up the flowers with a pomegranate spot, stamped those, cleaned the wheel, then inked up a few leaves with wasabi. I cut those out and pieced it all together. The wavy edge was done freehand with an xacto knife. I had it all put together with the sentiment, but then I decided it needed a bit more, so I added a few white flower rub-ons from the coordinating rub-on set.

Love this! The rub ons are the perfect compliment. I too have been debating over getting the set, but using the wheel like this is a perfect trade off. Great card!! Oh, and I love the layout too. Page 137 jumped out at me too.
