What a great inspiration challenge today, Audrie! I just love using Pinterest for inspiration! I was up late last night and still working on a card and found this pin as inspiration - what beautiful cupcakes! The colors and flowers inspired my card.
I used the new Power Poppy remixed digital image that's available today. Clematis is a flower vine that grows up walls, along fences, on buildings, and also on trellises. So after coloring my image, I used a decorative die and glue several layers to the pink card base. Then I used Labels 28 for the pink mat and fussy cut my focal image using out-of-the-box technique.
Thanks for taking a closer look, and I hope you have a great weekend and a fun Labor Day weekend. More information on my blog. Hugs, all!

I would like to pin all your cards to the wall, place a lawn chair facing them, and sit there and pretend that I am in some sort of magnificent garden. Your flowers are prettier than the real thing. The colors, coloring, and choice of die cuts are pure genius. Pinned and faved.

Just simply stunning. Beautifully coloured - as always. Such an incredibly pretty image. Oh boy - hope they put this one out as a stamp - I will be first in line for it. I have to keep an eye on my clematis - as the cockatoos love to pick off the plump buds - just as they are about to open up - now that is so very annoying. They are such naughty birds.

Cheryl, this card is just wonderful and amazing all rolled into one. The flowers are just outstanding as is your fussy cutting. I study it for a few minutes and still cannot understand how you cut those delicate vines. You rocked this one.
Wow! I looked at this for awhile. I have only done the out of the box technique twice and on very simple designs. This is stunning!!! Course you know I love it with the pink. Oh my your cupcake pin makes me hungry!!!

I love clematis plants! Around here people plant them next to their mailboxes and they climb up creating a gorgeous covering! Beautifully colored, Cheryl, but that doesn't surprise me! Love the lattice looking die for your outer edges~
