Inspiration is everywhere.\u00a0 You need only look past the need of your nose.\u00a0 Today, I was reminded of that by Linda Dalke, a sister demonstrator.\u00a0 She was inspired to create a card based on a pocket pack of tissues.\u00a0 That reminded me of a card that I created late this summer based on a coupon we gave away at Yankee Candle.<\/p>\n

\"coupon\"<\/p>\n

So, I saw this and thought surely, I could create a card that looked similar to that.\u00a0 I started racking my brain about which stamp set I could use to create the plumeria flower. Not sure if you can see it, but there are flowers in the background of the Margaritaville banner.\u00a0 How on earth could I recreate that?\u00a0 And, what colors could I use to recreate the stripes at the bottom.<\/p>\n

Then, I remembered that Stampin’ Up came out with the Botanical Gardens suite in the 2016 Occasions Catalog.\u00a0 It had the perfect flowers and leaves for the card.\u00a0 I was all set.\u00a0 Now to sit down and produce.\u00a0 Well, that hadn’t happened.\u00a0 Something about best laid plans…\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Next thing I know months had flown by and I still had not created the card.\u00a0 But then… the new Annual Catalog comes out and there with my beloved llama is the perfect striped paper.\u00a0 Long story short… many months later, I finally create the card inspired by a coupon!\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 Did I get close?\u00a0 Can you see the vision?<\/p>\n
