The gorgeous photo inspiration for Inspired By #133 is of the most beautiful bouquet - most likely a wedding bouquet with that gorgeous ribbon wrap. I found the soft creamy dreamy white so pleasing, I started there, and dry embossed my Bristol card base using a stencil [the same one I used for my pool reflection act surprised when you see it again today, okay?].
Of course you'll spy a few of those soft colors in my Copic-colored piece, too - today I've used Hero Arts/Gina K Design's Friendship Blooms. I'm already sorry I didn't include a satin ribbon - perhaps YOU will?
I haven't seen any of my teamies' cards, so I'm off … hope you tag along, you won't be sorry - hope we have just the way to inspire YOU to play along with us at IB133!!

Love this....so many beautiful blooms, and your sweet background is perfect for them!
This is so soft and gorgeous. The embossing is the perfect stage for this beautiful floral image, and your choice of colors is perfect. I love that little die cut that you used for the sentiment. Fabulous composition and take on the inspiration.
Love the gorgeous blooms and the fun dry embossing.
Beautifully done Michele.
This gorgeous card doesn't need the satin ribbon. It is lovely with just the right "wedding vibe" in my estimation.
That beautiful background is the perfect way to showcase those gorgeous flowers, Jo x

Soft textural background for those beautiful flowers Michele x. Great inspiration.....Thank you x.
Beautiful just as it is, Michele ... no satin ribbon needed (though if you added it I'm certain it would be gorgeous!). Hugs, Anita :)
Okay, I AM surprised! Because I read my blogs in a Reader, newer posts come first. I love that embossing folder. SO cool that you got two great looks from it. And the flowers....we'll they are gorgeous. Fabulous card! Hugs!
I really love that stencil. Did I miss where it's from? Beautiful! I need to carve out some time for this challenge again.
Wow, this is a stunning card Michele! That embossing folder looks completely different just embossed and I love the look it gives. That flower bouquet is so pretty and I'm in love with the way you have colored it in those beautiful colors. I would have never thought to put a sentiment in the middle like that, so loving that! Hugs, Brenda
No ribbon needed... It's perfect just as it is!
You've colored up a beautiful bouquet, Michele! It looks so elegant on the dry embossing!
Gorgeous bouquet card, Michele! I can't believe this is the same stencil you used for the pool water. Love the subtle and elegant dry embossed background! I always appreciate the clever way of showing the Copics you used for the card. :-)
