This is my card for today's inspiration challenge #353. Anne is our hostess and she chose the French Garden House site.
They have quite a mix of beautiful items. I chose this fun baby ribbon rosette as my inspiration piece.
Instead of using ribbon, I made a paper pinwheel. My inspiration is this card from Peggy McCurry's gallery.
She is our QFTD #129 this week.
So I made the card to honor her. A big congrats my color challenge hostess teamie. I kept your same layout but changed the card colors.
Then Friday's F4A133 wanted us to make a baby card without the traditional baby items.
For my pinwheel, I used SU's pacific point dsp. It was cut with a die from lil inkers design. My bg layer is also SU dsp from the "attic boutique collection" in daffodil delight. I added some corduroy buttons in the center.
I used a MS zig zag punch for my border and also used white rick rack. Stamped my sentiment also from lil' inkers pinwheel sentiments set.
That's my card for today.
