One thing I love about the SCS Inspiration Challenge is that it challenges me to do things I've never done. When I saw this amazing Leather Flower Bracelet from Agate Christina, I was really inspired by the color combination … and those beautiful chocolate blooms … something I probably never would have considered on my own.
I found some beautiful velvet patterned specialty paper tucked away in my stash and I die cut multiple sizes of Tattered Blooms for layers. I also cut the small bloom from a soft gold shimmer paper, as well as some detailed flourishes.
Next I went searching for some textured purple paper and put my design together using this week's Retro Sketch. I decided this would work well for a wedding or anniversary card, so I added a Congrats sentiment by Hero Arts.
I'm also linking-up at 52-Card Pick-up.
I hope you find inspiration.
This is so very pretty.
