Inchies and CPS #65 Sketch Challenge

So, I saw this beautiful trio of cards on Lisa Strahl's blog. I immediately clicked on her link to see where I could find "inchies." Here is a link for you, too. :) I went to Ellen Hutson's store and got some right away, along with all the other items I mentioned to you in a previous post. Well, after getting my package yesterday I couldn't wait to play with the stuff I got. This card features the inchies I got, and the "Water" dew drops out and had this idea for a mosaic on an inchie. I really wish I had my silver ep because I want to fill the cracks with it and emboss it so that it really does look like a mosaic - I'm pretty sure I could figure out a way to make that work. Oh well, that's in storage too. I also thought that this weeks CPS sketch would be a great one for my little mosaic tiles. You can see the CPS #65 here. This card also can be filed under SCS challenge WT166. So, without further ado, here is my card and the recipe:




Stamps: Fresh Cuts (NEW Fall-Winter 2008 Idea Book & Catalog preview set - I'll explain more about this later)

Paper: Almost Amethyst, Certainly Celery and Whisper White Card Stock

Ink: Almost Amethyst

Accessories: Water Dew Drops, inchies, glue dots, white Taffeta ribbon, paper piercing tool and template

    Those dew drops are really stunning. I started to do a card with inchies last week for the challenge and it is still sitting on my desk unfinished... I love the colors you used here too. Very pretty!
