An inspirational photo (shown below) challenged us this month for Papertrey Ink's blog hop -- another great photo because it can be interpreted in so many ways! My inspiration came from the lady's checked dress and the bouquet of flowers. Every product used on my very CAS card is available at Papertrey Ink with the exception of the DMC embroidery floss and Sakura Jelly Roll glitter pen.Using PTI's Stampers Select White CS for my 1/4 fold card, I die cut the right edge with Edger's #3 Die. Bitty Box Basics paper was used to cut a Half & Half die shape, as well as a 1" piece with the Edger's die. I glued this inside my card's right edge so it just peeks out for a tiny pop of color. LOVE the Half & Half and edger dies and I will use the larger edger on my envelope's edge too!
My stem, flower and sentiment from Botanical Silhouettes are stamped with Landscape and Raspberry Fizz inks. I think the Jelly Roll glitter pen adds a nice touch to my bloom! Then I simply tied embroidery floss through a PTI button for a very quick and simple finish.Thanks for coming by and have a hopping good time today!!!

What a nice clean card that still sports many great elements. Thank you for pinning out what inspired you - that is great to read about and learn from.
Sweet, sweet flower, and it looks beautiful with the shaped edge!
Sweet and lovely.
Such a beautiful card. I love the colors you chose, and the stamps and paper, too. Very pretty! ;-)
So pretty Marge! Love the flower against the blue!
Lovely CAS card Marge!

Don't you just love half and half!!! Great card.

So lovely, and stunning colors. Love how you used the Half and Half dies.
Beautiful...

gorgeous!!
Very nice, I especially like the checkered background piece.
What a lovely card! Great job with the inspiration piece!
Love that blue gingham, especially how you double layered the edge. Very pretty.
CAS, but beautiful! I also took inspiration from the dress, and used half and half, too!! :)
Beautiful and simply stated . I like that you used the dress.
Love how you used the edger die to provide an extra pop of color -- and the other die, too, to make the strip (can't remember what it's called...). Really great card.
Thanks for adding me to your prayer list. (And don't feel like a worthless human being for any reason... be thankful that computer frustrations are your biggest concern at the moment! :) )
Beautiful card
Ooh, Marge, I never thought about how the half-and-half dies echo the #3 Edge dies--wow! I love how they look together here! And I LOVE the extra bit of blue bitty dot paper you cut and added to your shaped edge--perfect idea!
So pretty! Love the edge of the card!
Lovely! Such pretty, pretty colors! That half&half die is the best and gorgeous with this paper!
Hugs, Wendy
Ooooooh....love the edge! Especially the layering...so cool!
Oooooh! I love it, especially that you used the Half and Half die with the edger die. I will have to try this.
Thank you for leaving such a wonderful comment on my blog. I haven't had a chance to go through the hop yet but I wanted to stop in and say hi.
I love how the floss just makes the whole thing pop! Beautiful card.
Love your use of the half and half die! (still have to get that on my list!) and I am a sucker for anything from Botanical silhouettes... Just a truly wonderful card!

Lovely card!
Love the layered edges and the pop of bright pink!
Wonderful card for the hop! I love how you used the Edgers die and layered the pieces and your stamped flower is perfect on this!
Awesome, I love how you used the edgers, and tied the half and half in with it!
Very pretty, Marge. I love your take on the inspiration challenge. It's always cool to stamp on patterned paper - I often forget to do that.
FABULOUS! LOVE your take on the challenge picture! So creative and beautiful!
Love the beautiful edge, gorgeous card!
