Sept. 22 - Oct. 5th Sparks Inspiration Photo

And.  Here is my interpretation:

What I was inspired by?  The colors (hot pink, mint green), and texture (the ruffles inspired the torn paper).

I would have to say, this was a quick and dirty card.  My card looks a bit 'rumpled'.  My heat gun and the cardstock did not jive very well! 

Card Supplies: 
Paper Smooches Stamp: Sentiment from Pretty Phrases
CHF Kim Hughes Collection Stamps:  Winter Trees (Tree, snowman, star on tree)
DoubleMates Pretty Pink textured Card Stock, SU textured Card Stock, Green unknown source
White embossing powder.

Thanks for looking!
