DDIC 5/ Mojo Sketch- Playful petals

Happy Thursday!!! Today it is a very dreary day here. The clouds are not letting the sun peek through and it looks like rain again. It was the same yesterday as well. I plan to so some work inside the house and some more stamping. Woo hoo! If it was sunny, I would have to be outside weeding, painting or staining.

Today is the Divine Diva Inspiration Challenge! Lori sent all the dt members a link to the Title Nine site that included these dresses:

I decided to use the colors and flowers of the first dress as my inspiration. I also thought I would use the Mojo 89 sketch for this week. Since the colors of the dress looked closest to the Baja Breeze and the patterns looked floral or paisley, I thought the Parisian Breeze Paper would be perfect with the patterns and colors which are all in the dress. The flowers reminded me of the SU Playful Petals set so I thought I would use this set. My flowers are paper pieced using CS and Designer Papers. I also made a matching Butterfly Box to go with it. This was Monday's TLC220 challenge for this week.

Card Recipe:
Stamps: Warm Words, Playful Petals
Paper: Parisian Breeze, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, White CS, Urban Garden DP (Old olive dp)
Accessories: Ek Success Fleur De Lis Punch, Cuttlebug Textile Embossing Folder, sewing machine, Spellbinders Label 3 die, Baja Breeze Grossgrain ribbon, Oval punches, Martha Stewart Classic Butterflies Punch, Hero Arts Pearls

Butterfly Box:
Stamps: Ovals Only
Paper: Parisian Breeze, White CS, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Butterfly Box Template, Flourish Rhinestones, SU Sizzix Butterfly XL Die

Thanks for visiting today. I hope this project inspires you to create and maybe....even use this inspiration!!! We would so love you to join in on the fun. If you should create a card or project using this as your inspiration, please link your creation to Lori's Blog here. If you upload your creation to SC please use the keyword DDIC5. I hope you have the time for more awesome inspiration from my delightful talented dt sisters: Julie, Keri, Chat, Angela, and Lori. You won't want to miss them!!

Thanks again for stopping by and for your wonderful comments. Your blogs and comments are such an inspiration and I am very thankful for all my blogging friends. I hope you find the time to create and maybe participate in one of the challenges I have posted in the last three days or maybe even all three at once. It can be done! You can use the sketch from the Midnight Madness Challenge, use papers or images reflecting this inspiration and add a butterfly or fairy for yesterday's Flutter By Wednesday Challenge! If these challenges do not inspire you to create, I am sure the prize that Priscilla is offering sure will!!! I just may have to try this combo if I get a chance!!

Smiles and blessings,
Chris
