For Your Inspiration #7

Welcome to the seventh For Your Inspiration challenge!!  You have until June 15th to play along.  Here is the gorgeous photo for this week:

Isn't it just beautiful?  I created my card based on the colors of the sky and water.  I simply sponged several ink colors on a quarter sheet of white cardstock, then die cut it with the largest Labels 18 die from Spellbinders.

• Once it was cut I stamped it in versamark with the largest stamp from Bird and Butterfly Labels by ODBD.
• I heat embossed it with clear EP then sponged more colors onto the butterflies, grass and wildflowers.
• Stamped the sentiment in the oval
• Used Labels 18 again to cut a leftover piece of blue mulberry paper
• Stamped a few wildflowers in the corner of the card base
• Used gold paint pen to trace around die to create a frame (to emulate the lights in the photo)
• Added three gold pearls for a final touch

Here's a close up of the embossing:

Hope you all are having a wonderful week.  Don't forget to check out the beautiful cards by the rest of the DT:
