This week's inspiration challenge was to be inspired by Frank & Julie. This site has so many beautiful belt buckles that it took me almost an hour to decide on which one I wanted to be inspired by. In the end I chose this one: http://www.frankieandjulie.com/shop/...roducts_id=217
This is the card I created. I used several stamps to create the pattern, two flowers from Inkadinkado's gem stone flower set and one from a fiskars set. Then I used a frame from another inkadinkado Brenda Walton set called maison frames to create the frame around the sentiment (heat embossed with silver) and a sentiment from neapolitan card sentiments (another inkadinkado Brenda walton set). The swirls on the base card are from the same fiskars set as the one flower. I made a ribbon flower, used some gem stones, and popped the main oval up on pop dots. I'd love to know what you think.

Well, goodness me, haven't you ever captured the feel of the buckle with this, with those beautifully framed and layered ovals, and the wonderful swirls.

Love how you combined all of those different stamps into such a beautiful cohesive image ... and the silver flourishes and fabulous ribbon flower are such elegant accents ... great inspired card.
