My Time to Inspire Challenge

I've been having Blogger issues all week and am crossing my fingers I can get this to post....we'll see!!

I'm back with a quick and easy clean card using Lauren's new My Time to Inspire Challenge. This is Lauren's first Inspiration challenge and I had a lot of fun with it! Here's a look at the Inspiration photo:
As you can see, I used the photo to inspire just about every aspect of my card - from the top-heavy design to the little flowers.The flowers are stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black and are from Verve's Wishful Elegance set. I colored them with Copics and added some large silver brads to the centers. The bottom white panel of my card was embossed with my Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder to give it a little bit of dimension and I added some So Saffron ribbon. I could see a very pale yellow in the dress, but wanted to give my card a little more pop, so went with the Saffron color. The sentiment is from SU's Bitty Birthday, stamped in Versamark ink and embossed with detail white powder before punching out with my Word Window punch.
