This is my card for the Inspiration Challenge for today which was to be inspired by the Bellacor Vase Website. They are wonderful. I was inspired by the 3rd sample that Stephanie gave us here.
I first tried another one and then after at least 500 tries on this one here it is. I think I did everything backwards. I wanted embossed flowers and I wanted them different colors, but have no clue how you can get them that way, so I painted them with different colored EP. They sort of mutated, I guess and the picture is not exact either. Every room I took a picture in came up with a different color. I guess this is the closest.
I stamped SU Garden Silhouettes three times with VersaMark and then painted two different colors of Embossing Pwd - garnet and gold -with a Q tip and embossed it. I added green jewels and a silk flower from Michaels that I attached with a Spare Parts brad. tfl

I knew instantly that you'd used that third thumb for your inspiration - you really captured the feel of it. I love your gold embossed flowers - and that big beautiful blossom at the bottom.

For someone who claims not to know about using different ep's you certainly have come up w/a winner. Love the softness and uncomplicated design! Wonderful card.

Your result after all of that trouble is beautiful!!! I like that vase too and would have used it to inspire me had I chosen to accept the challenge. Good for you for hanging in there and not letting frustration defeat you. I agree that photographing can be the pits sometimes. Your card really is pretty!! It has a lovely glistening effect. I need to learn to use some of those supplies.
