Perfect Sentiments Challenge 18: Inspired with Love

Welcome back friends...it's Wednesday so you know what that means...another weekly challenge with The Perfect Sentiment Challenge Blog.

This week's challenge is to create a card with a sentiment that lets someone know that you "love them". The twist is to use the picture~which I will show you in a little bit~as inspiration to create your card. 

Here is my take on this weeks inspiration photo...

And here's the inspiration photo...which I think is just beautiful....

This looks like such a romantic & peaceful patio to me~you can click on the image to make it bigger~it's easy to be inspired to create after looking at this photo. There are two items in this photo that really jumped out at me when I first looked at it...the soft pink flowers in the foreground and the brick. These were the jumping off point for my design.

I picked up these gorgeous flowers from a local furniture store of all places...you just never know where you will find something to create & scrap with...although I did find myself wanting some new furniture after being in there..but I digress :)
I paired the flowers and petals with some soft fabric lace. 

For the other part of my inspiration for this card...I created my version of the brick patio by running some card stock through my Tim Holtz Brick embossing folder..I rubbed some Spun Sugar Distress Ink over the entire piece then came back in with the Festive Berries DI to create a little more definition around some of the bricks. 

The sentiment is from the SEI Jolie Chocolate rub-on set. I wrapped some soft green striped ribbon around the the card stock & topped it off with a staple. 

Here's another look at that yummy fabric lace...love it!!! I snatched this up in a bag of vintage trims..love those kinds of treasures when I am out junkin with my girlfriend Andrea : )


And now for the inside.......

As with all of my cards I like to carry the front to the inside...so I fussy cut the brick embossed card stock as my mat. 

These were sort of a last minute addition...the card just seemed to have too much white space for my taste. 


Here's one last look....
