A lovely Inspiration Challenge today, thank you. I very much liked the three panel paintings and based my card on the right hand panel here Forums at Splitcoaststampers
To make up the card I used a beige pearlescent card base and sponged the edges with distress ink. I punched out three square and sponged with three different combinations of distress inks to try and match up to the painting. I had problems stamping flowers with my white stayzon ink and so ended up drawing on some flowers with a white inksentials pen and the stems with markers. I added a black mat layer to the three panels and sentiment to finish. TFL. Chris

This was my favorite inspirational piece, too! Great interpretation, you did a wonderful job sponging and hand-drawing the flowers!
