March 2, 2009 - Inspire!

I created this card today for Kristina Werner's color challenge #43. I love her color challenges and I have not been able to do one in a while. 

I wanted to do some watercoloring today and I knew the colors would work well with this set. The images are all stamped in Chocolate chip on watercolor paper and watercolored in. The leaves and butterfly were cut and mounted after. I stamped the main piece with sanded softly in caramel, and the french script in close to cocoa. I though it time to brake out the hodgepodge hardware ( pewter finish) so used that for the INSPIRE sentiment. The dotted chocolate ribbon is from the Valet ribbon originals. The brads in the flower centers are the aged copper finish. The card stock for the card is red riding hood ( instead of ruby red) and the other card stock is chocolate chip.

The inspiration for this card came from this card here:

I loved the layout immediately.
