A Bit of Inspiration From the 4 Crafty Chicks

Welcome back, everyone!  Can it really be that time of the week already??? This week's hostess-with-the-mostest at the 4 Crafty Chicks is Lori and she has given us this lovely picture to use as inspiration for your creations this week:

Isn't it lovely?  For my card, I used the colors in the photo as well as the "nature/natural" setting and combined them with the Week Three Viva la Verve sketch:

Stamps: Hope Perches Plain Jane (Verve)  Ink: Concord Crush  Paper: Concord Crush, Old Olive, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, SU! DSP, Victoria Gardens DSP (Echo Park)  Accessories: Paper piercer, Herringbone embossing folder, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Nesties, twine, Bird Punch (SU!), rhinestone brads

Thanks for stopping by today - can you believe the summer is almost over?  The kids go back to school next week and I can't wait!  If you want to play along with us this week but need a bit more inspiration, don't forget to visit the other Chicks' blogs.  I know they'd love to see you!  Have a great week!
