Today's card was made for the weekly challenge hosted by Pals Paper Arts (PPA56), an Inspiration Challenge. The exciting inspiration photo at right shows you the painted tray and pearl flower pin (notice the "enameled" leaves) I used as inspiration for my card (click on the actual photo for an enlarged view). This creation was made using card stock, stamps, and tools from Stampin' Up!
