Papertrey April Blog Hop Challenge

Hi,
I really like this month's inspiration photo.  I decided to use the colors, the fabric images as in dots, damask and flowers and also the general layout of the photo, as in separate  horizontal strips represented by each fabric piece.   So my first step with this card was stamping and cutting strips, but as I was adhering the strips to the bottom of the card, I became attached to the white space at the card's upper portion and was unable to cover it up, so now I have more strips for another card!  And since some of the fabric has a flowery pattern, I went with Rosie Posie as the focal point, stamped my sentiment right on the middle strip, and voila!  I look forward to seeing other takes on this.
Have a grand day,
Val
