Inspirational Challenge

Here's a sketch I really like at Lilypad Cards by Lucy Abrams which was the inspirational source for my card above.

I wanted to achieve a tone on tone card using various shades of purple.  I pulled out all the purple Memento inks I had, and stamped several images from the Large Doily set by Waltzing Mouse Stamps to create the stacked flowers.  On the bottom layer of the larger flower, I did a little bit of rock n roll technique to get a darker shade of purple around the scalloped edges.  Then on the second layer, I adhered some Lilac baker's twine to give the flower some interest.  For the stem, I penciled the lines and then pierced along the lines, and went over them with a white gel pen.  I did the same for the faux stitches underneath the sentiment. What do you think?

I look forward to see what inspires you at the Lilypad Cards and your creations.
