Hello everyone...my friend Anne (Itsapassion), who is hosting the Inspiration Challenge tonight, asked me to make a sample card and what a fabulous site she picked for us!!! The Franz Porcelain store has a beautiful collection of Chinese porcelain and I picked the Forever Wedding Collection as my inspiration. The flourishes from the Priceless set were stamped on the white background. The Spellbinders frame was sponged with Creamy Caramel and attached with dimensionals. Flowers and leaves from the Delight in Life and God's Beauty were stamped in Brilliant Blue and silver pearls were added to the centers. A wood flourish, blue ribbon, and the Prima butterfly finish it off. TFL and enjoy the challenge!!

I see we were both drawn the the brilliance of the beautiful blue in our respective inspiration pieces. Your replication of your particular piece is amazing, Joan! That butterfly is exquisite; gorgeous card!
