This is my card for today's Inspiration Challenge - to be inspired by the decorative pillows of Bonjour Mon Coussin.
I chose this beautiful pillow as my inspiration piece: http://www.bonjourmoncoussin.com/en/...img.php?act=47
When I saw this pillow, I immediately thought of Stipple Rose so I used that as my main image. Stamped it with Memento Rich Cocoa onto Gina K. 80 lb. Ivory and colored with Copic markers. Cut out the entire image and popped it over an Ivory background that had been sponged with Baja Breeze and Antique Linen DI. Cut the oval panels with Petite Oval Nesties and popped those panels up, too. I used several patterns of Basic Grey Stella Ruby DP to hopefully look like a collage. Added 3 ivory pearls to finish it.
Thanks, Stef, for another great inspiration site and TFL!
