Ok, so I saw the Inspiration challenge again just before thinking I was going up to bed - but I had an immediate inspiration and so had to get it out of my head and onto my card before I could sleep!
Today's inspiration from Stef was an Acacia Catalogue and I chose this image for inspiration:
A clear vase with flowers on the front and colored circles on the back.
I used a piece of acetate card stock, White Staz on Ink on my Artful Inkable flower silhouette stamp that I also colored over a bit with SU Markers and 1 inch punched circles of this beautiful Amy Butler Mat pack from K & Company.
I knew it would be hard to photograph and to see clearly - but here it is. I stamped 'Love Blooms' from PTI Favor It Wedding set on the bottom right circle.
The DP is double sided so I didn't have to cover the back as the pretty colors on the other side show. Acetate is kind of hard to work with - EVERYTHING sticks to or smears on it!
I hope you can see the inspiration vase in this card.

Oh my, when I saw the thumbnail I thought you had decorated a vase (which would be totally cool and I'm thinking of doing...) but I see it's a card made with acetate. And I love the fact that you used double-sided dp so you didn't need to worry about the other side! Very clever card and super wonderful. Love it!

That's really cool!!!! You sound like a mad stamper; having to get that idea out before you lose it. I'd like to get back to that state - I seems to be a little distracted right now. Your results are very nice. I hate when you try to get the idea out, but it just doesn't live up to what's in your mind. Your card was worth staying up for.
