Stef, you are such an enabler! You find all these wonderful inspirational sites! I wasn't going to play today, going to clean house for a change. I did check out the Spunky Sprout site, found one that I would have used if I were to make a card. Starting cleaning. .....then I came across the perfect stamp for my inspiration and in under 30 minutes this card was created!..........details................
I was inspired by this card. Stamped my perfect stamp and clear eb it. Sponged garden green over top. Cut out with my new long oval coluzzle. Ran through cb using tiny mosaic folder.
Cut out the next size long oval, sponged vinetage photo. Put these two together.
Just happen to have a made bg with the perfect colors for my card. Sponged the edges and put it on a white card that I sponged the corners with the two colors and doodled. Popped up my oval image. Done......in under 30 minutes. Unbelievable! Now it's back to cleaning. When I get that done, I will be back to comment on all your wonderful creations, I promise!.........TFL :0)

Oh wow, I'm glad you didn't make a card today. (wink) This is a beautiful tree, if it was on a card you made. (LOL) I really love the oval too. Great take on the IC. You sure did make a card today, and I love it. TFS

Fantastic card, Cathy! Love the embossed palm tree and the the sponged and textured background! Great match to the slip-ons! Funny how cleaning always comes in second to stamping! As it should be...!

OMGoodness! this is just perfect. Cleaning? Are you nuts? If people come to look at a clean house, they aren't really friends. I'd rather be stamping than cleaning.
