It seems like only yesterday that we were over at Inkspirational, with out *Purple & Wedding* challenge for our sweet Pia and her handsome groom, Thomas. Thank you so much for such marvelous, special entries! Two weeks have flown by, and it's time to welcome you to Inkspirational Challenge #84:
Such a pretty image: a summery outfit (love the striped tank top, frilly skirt and yellow shoes), flowers and books, a perfect scene to lose oneself in a story. And with that as introduction, I wonder: where will the 'story' of this photo inspiration take YOU?
My DT and I are thrilled that incredibly sweet and talented, Kylie is our Guest Designer. Her card will delight, as will those of my wonderful teammates:
Pia, our newlywed
Please check out their cards and leave them some love; they'll be thrilled.
My card follows a simple plot - flower, vines and leaves, a butterfly or three..and best of all, it has a happy ending!
Hope I've offered a bit of inspiration to encourage you select a detail or two from the photo to create a card/project to share in the Ink gallery. You may be the one we choose as a future Guest Designer!

So gorgeous sweetie, hugs Pops x
Lovely card, Carol! I agree that inspiration photo is beautiful. I like how you took the flowery parts and made it your own. Of course, those butterflies are a wonderful addition. I also like how you stamped on the sentiment, too. Thanks for sharing and for letting me know the colors on the previous card that I had asked you about. Have a lovely weekend!
Beautiful technique used here, with the multicoloured stamping and the die-cutting . Looks like a real garden of wildflowers.
Oh that is just plain lovely!! I shouldn't use the word plain, because it's anything but plain!! It's gorgeous to say the least! Love all those pretty little flowers and the neat way you did the die cut sentiment!! Beautiful work! (Hugs)

Oh Carol, this is absolutely gorgeous. You inspired me to try the raised die cut sentiment on my latest card, but it didn't go quite as well a this. This rocks it! I just love the placement of all of your stamps and that fabulous stacked die cut. Just wonderful!!!!
Oh, how pretty is this?!!...Love it!
Oh, Carol, this card is so, so pretty! Love the die cut word and that those delicate flowers are on one side! Beautiful!
Carol...your card is just as beautiful and sweet as the inspiration. I love how you used that die, really adds so much beauty to your card. Just love it!
Oh my goodness, this is a gorgeous card Carol! Your take on the inspiration is just gorgeous!! I so love those little itty bitty butterflies, love, love, love them! Hugs, Brenda
So pretty. Love the stamped flowers --- pretty colours and design. Having the raised sentiment in white gives it a subtle look --- very creative Carol. xx
Carol the perfect card for the inspiration. I absolutely adore the precious garden you created and stamping over your die cut is delightful. F

I am swooming over how you decided to go with this design, Carol! It's out of this world gorgeous!! Hope the race was fun!! Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful card. Great take on the photo inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
This is so very sweet. I love those little tiny flowers, and how they overlap on the die cut word. And, of course, the butterflies!
Such a pretty summer-card. The pale blue card base is very inspired!
Carol the flower and the raised happy create such a beautiful design! Really love this card!
This is beautiful Carol! I love the "happy" die cut with the stamped side. So clever and such a bold statement. Perfect for the challenge.

I love this - so light, so pretty, and just so CAS!!! I love the sweetness of it and I adore that there is a HAPPY ending - you are marvelous!!
Simply Gorgeous! LOVE!
I so love how you have laid this out - the dainty flowers over just part of the "happy" is a lovely look!
OH MY...I'm nearly speechless! This is stunning Carol. My new #1 fav Carol Card with this cool technique! Awesome work!
