Beate’s Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #13

Published by rainy at 6:30 am under Beate's Inspiration Challenges, Cards, Flourishes, Kimberly Cards

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. :-)

    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!!

  26. # Pat (mspfd)on 14 May 2008 at 11:17 am

    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!
