My card for this week's Inspiration Challenge was inspired by this fabulous Audrey Bag from MacKenzie-Childs. I loved the flowers on black and all of the fun patterns.
To match the texture of the bag, I wanted a woven-like background for my card, so I embossed black textured cardstock with an Arrow embossing folder from James' Set of embossing folders. I wanted a similar black & white pattern for my flowers, so I stamped the Envelope Pattern in India Ink on white cardstock to use for some of my blooms.
I mixed in brushed gold & kraft papers, as well as black felt flowers and lots of different brads. I finished with a sentiment from the new Hero Arts Thanks a Bunch set.
