Such a super site for the Inspiration Challenge! After much browsing, I chose THIS. It reminded me of a lovely stamp I have but have not used.
I used my Misti to stamp the image onto watercolor paper & stamped it once w/ lt green ink on the leaves & again w/ pink ink on the flowers. After watercoloring it, I decided the image outlines didnât show up enough, so I stamped over it w/ gold ink & heat embossed w/ gold powder. I used an angled border die to cut the bottom & insert a piece of flower print paper, before putting them back together. The gold stripe edges are washi tape.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

You have the perfect image for your inspiration! This is beautiful in gold and pastels. I like the layering you added with the scallop border and the gold stripes are wonderful too!

This is elegant, Julie. The gold striped layer adds the perfect balance to your focal. I was especially drawn to the dotty edge...the shades of color draw the eye ever so delicately. This is definitely a perfectly CAS card.
