So where do you find inspiration? The "inkspiration" for this card evolved from Poetic Artistry's 
The card base is 5.5 x 4.25 in luscious Basic Gray Textured card stock. The Kiwi Kiss panel took on a Paisley "terrain" after zipping through a Cuttlebug. The final touch was Stampin' Up's beautiful Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon, easily locked into place using the Stay Put Bow method. TIP: For your convenience, I created "Links I Love" on my right side bar to keep some of my favorite tips and tutorials handy (including the Stay Put Bow and the Nestabilities Sandwich referred to in this post).
SHHHHHH: I saw more glimpses today of the Stampin' Up!'s Fall/Winter catalog. The designer paper is the best ever and I'm hot to trot on purchasing the new punches (in addition to the the Scallop Edge I already own): Scalloped Square Punch, Curly Label Punch and a 1 3/4" Circle Punch. Yes, Hodgepodge Hardware will be back (like the kit in the Mini Occasions catalog last spring) in Styled Silver and a new Vanilla finish. You can expect new Flower Fusion colors, lots of rub-ons and an exciting variety of stamp sets. Check out my Fall/Winter Sneak Peek samples 🙂

Wow! I would have NEVER guessed those colors would go so well together. I haven’t been a big fan of the kiwi, but I think it might be growing on me. Very nice job, Mary!
