This weeks challenge is a color challenge (black, dark pink, and kiwi). Aren’t those colors great? When I saw this color combo, my Sweet Nectar paper pack from K&Co was my first thought.  I just love the bright colors in that pack and the lovely paper designs.  I used a Martha Stewart deep edge puncher on the black panel and highlighted the little flowers with pink crystals.  The SB Labels Label Eighteen is stamped using stamps from Inspired by Stamping’s Small Fancy Label 18 stamp set.  The pretty roses are also from IBS.

Now, once you leave a little love here, please go over to Inkspirational and see all of the “Inkspiration” from the other ladies and let them know how much you love their creations too!
I hope to see your inkspiration this week!

the border punched black paper really stands out, especially with the pink gems. Also beautiful gingham ribbon!

Well, we made it. I can't believe just a few short weeks ago we were both questioning our sanity and feeling despair!!! This card is absolutely GORGEOUS, Ellen! I LOVE the gingham accents with your sweet flowers and that elegant sentiment is perfect! Thank you SO MUCH for your hard work at Inkspirational!!! Here's to an amazing 2013! :)

Gorgeous, the colour scheme is fabulous. Beautiful ribbon and bow, the black die cut with the pink flower centers rocks and the senitment makes a wonderful focal point. Love the stitching!
