I had so much fun with the inspiration that I made 2 cards to show you today.  The first (shown in the close up view) shows the faux bleached inchies combined with 7gypsies  Designer Paper.  The wildflowers & sentiment were stamped on the same paper as the floral squares.  I stamped the sm. flower from the wildflowers set onto a Tim Holtz Fragment and then used alcohol inks on the back.   The beautiful ribbon is also from 7gypsies.
