This is my card for today's Inspiration Challenge - to be inspired by the items on the Anthropologie website. I love Anthropologie - so much inspiration there!
I chose this beautiful dress for my inspiration: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/...3161&color=069
I used the layout from today's Sketch Challenge on PaperCraft Planet (SK102409) and made a birthday card for Susanna for the Birthday Challenge (SB2009).
I made a 3-D tissue paper flower using Mona's tutorial on the Just Us Girls blog. The tissue paper was brayered with Baroque Burgundy and 3 sizes of flowers were cut with Cuttlebug Flower dies.
Thanks, Stef, for another fantastic inspiration site and TFL!
