Not inspired...

This is one of those cards that didn't come out at all as I saw it in my head, so I don't like it. Maybe I would like it, if my head version wasn't so much better!

It's very sparkly in real life. I inked up the stamp with markers (after first inking the flowers with my Baja Breeze inkpad) and then used 2-way glue and fine supernova glitter. The colours of this glitter are just gorgeous!
I made the little tag using the scallop square punch, and chopping off most of the scallops!

Materials (all Stampin' Up!)
stamps: Inspired by Nature, Friends 24-7
ink: Baja breeze, Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa
card: Baja Beeze, Chocolate Chip, Whisper white
other: Scallop Square Punch, Fine Supernova Glitter, sponge dauber, Wide Chocolate Chip Stitched ribbon, 2-way Glue pen, Linen Thread, Vintage brad

  6. Wow, if you were not happy with this card...I can not wait to see what you really wanted it to look like. I don't have this stamp set but is on the wish list but there are so many great ones to choose from.

  14. We are always our own worst critics. It looks great but I know the feeling when they don't live up to the head image.
    Thanks for coming today.
