Sadly, it has been so long since I've created a card for Altenew's Inspiration Challenge. But Aditi's prompt is so gorgeous, I just had to find a way to turn her pillow into a card. See it for yourself:
Here's a closeup of that pillow cover:
I did a deep dive into my Altenew stash and found a few sets that would do nicely:
Stunning Cosmos - for the main blooms
Lavender Bud - for the filler blooms
Embroidered Foliage - to represent the stitching
Elegant Sayings - for my sentiment
Ready to see them all together?
My panel started with a panel of Natural card stock from MFT - I sure wish they still offered it - it has lovely natural fibers running through it which I see in the cloth Aditi's pillow cover.
The natural color played with the inks just the way I'd hoped they would.
Here are the inks I layered:
Hope they like it - hope you do, too!

I think you've captured that pillow beautifully, Michele! You nailed the colors. This is a wonderful card!
Your flowers are a perfect match to the pillow. Absolutely stunning Michele. 💐
Those flowers are a great representation of the ones on the pillow, Michele. That picture had me stumped but you had just the right products to make it work (as Tim Gunn would say).
I think your card mimics the pillow perfectly Michele...absolutely beautiful!! Love the bright colors and how cheery it is too...lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
What a gorgeous pillow and an equally gorgeous card! Wow!
Your card garden grows as beautifully as the pillow garden, Michele! I love that your background has that bit of fiber like the pillow! So pretty!
Gorgeous take on the pretty pillow. Your blooms are gorgeous in those colors. I too with MFT still carried the Natural card stock. I still have just a few sheets of it.
What a lovely pillow and your card mimics it beautifully! You've got the colors down pat, even the paper texture and the stitchy leaves. I know they're happy to have you play along again!
I've got similar cardstock from Altenew... Spicy Yogurt and Moonrock (though they are a lighter version), and I can't see them at their store either. Crossed fingers they reintroduce them with their new cardstock range. LOVE this cushion and YOUR card!
