Birthday/Diva Challenge

I made this card today for a challenge over at StampNation which

is celebrating it's third birthday today.
Happy Birthday StampNation!!!

If you haven't done so yet, you should check it out.

Heather, a member of the design team at StampNation

suggested I also enter this card into the

Dazzling Diva challenge 

at

Add a Little Dazzle

This is the inspiration photo for the Dazzling Diva challenge

isn't it gorgeous!

And here's the card that Heather suggested would be great for

this challenge. It's like I chose the colors for my card based on this photo.

To make the baker's twine match the card I dragged a piece of the

whisper white across the elegant eggplant ink pad. 

If you try this I would advise you giving it time to dry. I didn't do that

and ended up with a smudge on the paper which is why you see stars on the card.
