What a terrific site for the Inspiration Challenge! There were so many things I just loved but most of all I love that they were recycled from other objects. I finally narrowed my choice down to these two: Fair Trade Recycled Bag and Moulin Rouge Earrings. I like the water/fish scene on the bag and the fab wavy colors on the earrings.
For my scene, I used markers and a water brush and added some highlights with a white gel pen. The image is new from DRS Designs.
I used an oval die to cut the frame out of the white c/s and stamped the greeting at the bottom. The edges were sponged w/ a little of the blue ink and I used two oval dies to cut the thin red oval frame I added on top. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

I like this cute stamp. AND your coloring is wonderful. I didn't see the green in the water until I looked at the card on your website. Made the water have so much depth and made the whole scene so realistic.
