Well, one "good" thing about hurricanes is that I seem to have more mojo...and time (now that we are "hunkered down") to get inspired by this week's wonderful Inspiration Challenge.
You know me and flowers! I saw this DesignSeed and thought of one of my "never seen ink" stamps. I really especially enjoyed using the Chameleon Pens with the Color Tops and found them such fun getting different colors for the petals. Then decided to fussy cut it...but I didn't fussy cut any flower petals (even though I was tempted). Been too distracted with the storm and reaching family and friends.
Anyway, I found this embossed background in my stash and finally found it (Basketweave by Darice). I matted it with Lavender Lace and then added the tulle. I love the softness of it. It still needed something more, and I found this "hello" that I made when I was at my friend Becky's house a long time ago...and decided to add it. I think it sort of finished it...don't you?
We are experiencing higher winds and are getting much more rain this evening. But the best news is that I heard from my niece. They packed up my sister as though she won't go back home (house is very low-lying), and she is staying with my niece, her DH, and GD. Thank You, Lord!
Thanks for taking a look, and thanks for being my friend! SCS is such a special place...especially when we are shut up in our houses during a storm. Hugs, sweet friends!!

WOW, Oh WOW! Cheryl, I love this card. And I really love the netting element and dry embossed background panel -- perfect!! It really sets off the beautiful hydrangea.

One of my favourite flowers - hydrangea - and coloured in my favourite shade of purple too. Mine all tend towards the pink shades. I keep trying to change them - he he. This is a fabulous card and just so pretty.
