Hi! This is the card I did for today`s Inspiration Challenge brought to us by Stephanie. Today we were to be inspired by Decade Gifts. Read about it here. IC245 ~ Decade Gifts {08-14-10} by SmilynStef at Splitcoaststampers
This is what I based my card on. http://www.decade-gifts.com/gift-301...rie-Bath-Salts
I watercolored my cherry blossoms, matted, and popped up. My green layer is impressed with a die from PTI. The inside is Basic Grey DP and my envelope is Pink Paislee DP. I added an Asian coin. Wanted to keep it CAS. Thanks for looking and have a fabulous day! I am on my 3rd day of not sleeping at night. YIKES! And it`s strange because I don`t feel tired! For more chit chat please visit me at http://paper-rose-petals.blogspot.com/
I love when you stop by!!

I just can't wait to see your cards each day. This one is just outstanding as I have a weakness for the look of watercoloring. It's B E A U T I F U L!! Thanks for sharing your talents and inspiring us.

Well I guess this is proof positive your creativity is totally wired with no sleep for days on end. Your coloring is, once again, beyond my skill level. Your card looks exactly like a museum work of art. It is so gorgeous! Wow girl!
