Wonderful inspiration this week from the website Santa Barbara Chic that Stephanie found for us! I love browsing design blogs like this one!
I chose the 2nd "giclee" print that the blog author highlighted here. I've been admiring the look of layered scallops that I've seen in the gallery so this was my opportunity to give it a whirl!
The colors in the sample were similar to Cosmo's Earth Love DP so I punched scallops from that collection and from some DCWV textured creme CS. The swirl is embossed with gold EP and I added some jewel beads along the curves. The bottom of the card panel is scored vertically and highlighted with a gold gel pen.

This card is lovely, Anne. The swirl and gems and lace are such a counterpoint to the scallops. I hardly knew where to look first. This is just beautiful.

Goodness, I saw those prints but I certainly didn't see what you see. This is totally gorgeous and just jumps out of the gallery. OK,so maybe I focussed on the bird print more, but I did see your inspiration piece too. I prefer your card .
