I love playing along with Beate’s Inspiration Challenges. This week the inspiration piece is this beautiful bed linen.
Here is the card I made for it.
The coverlet inspired me to use an embossing plate from Spellbinders that I bought several months ago and still had not used. I colored in the leaves on the main image using a blender pen and reinkers. See those tiny little Raindots on the flower centers? Aren’t they cute! The sentiment is from Flourishes “Many Sentiments” set.
And I also wanted to share this wonderful Mother’s Day card that my DS and DDIL, Kimberly, made and sent to me.
I just love the way she stamped the sentiment in the corner where the designer paper has been torn away. And isn’t the sparkle on the bodice such a sweet and perfect little detail. I love this card!

Mom-
The inspiration card looks just like the bed linen, it is a perfect match.
The card from my wife or your ddil was inspired by a card from splitcoast stampers. I am not sure of the link, but I thought it best we not steal all the glory. 🙂
Very classy card, Susan! Love those pretty little flowers. Linda
Love the inspiration card. The flowers really set it off. The embossing template really makes it. Also love the card you received. Great job on both.
Both cards are absoulutly beautiful. TFS

I love your card! The texture on the embossed piece goes so nicely with the coverlet in the inspiration piece. Love the flowers too…nice added touch. I will have to save your photo as inspiration for myself 🙂

Beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely lovely inspiration card!! Love the textured CS and the flowers are a perfect touch.
So crisp and clean lines, I love your card. The colors go together so well also!
Your inspiration card is purely inspirational! I love your flowers and the raindots…haven’t seen them before, and I tell you they’re a must have now that I have seen them! LOVE that embossing plate…you’re blog is going to get me into big trouble!!
Awesome card, Susan. Love the embossing. Have a question — Can you use the embossing plate in the Cuttlebug or do you need the Wizard? I ask because I absolutely love the way it looks! This is such an elegant card and really is an amazing take on the inspiration piece.
I love the true thyme with the basic gray — it’s such a fresh, clean look against the white. Beautifully done. TFS! Also, wanted to let you know that the design of the mother’s day card is fabulous!
I love your inspiration card and that embossing plate is beautiful! The little white flowers on it are that special touch!!!

A realy lovely card
Your card has such nice texture and I love those little flowers!! Beautiful inspiration card!!
I love your Mother’s Day card you received! Super sweet!!
So when you see Kimberley or when she comes up here do the two of you sit and stamp?!? I would LOVE that! Lyndsey is not one bit interested in anything I’m interested in…so I have no one to “play” with…my only hope is that Michael can reel in someone who will like to play…but that’s not looking promising either! I love the card she made, too. My sister made me some wedding cards to give away…isn’t that great? and I gave one to Kirstin Cornett for her shower and she opened the envelope and studied the card and commented on how cute it was and I was just thrilled – couldn’t wait to tell my sister that her card was appreciated! For Labor Day I’m going to be laboring around the manse – it’s a sty and I can’t take it any longer! Have a great day and the next time you make a “supply” run take me with you! Nan
The Inspiration Challenge card #13 you created is so beautiful. There is something about the layout and the colour choices that, if I saw it on SCS I’d put it into my favs.
