Inspired By Day Filled with Joy

Good morning!  We are back with another challenge this week over at Inspired By card challenges.

I wish I hadn't been sick this week with a head cold because I would've created several cards (I still may come back to this one because it just makes me so happy and I can think of so many other cards when I look at it)  

I digress, sorry.

This week, I was inspired by:

The gorgeous flowers

The xos

The placement of the items on the runner

The black on white striking combo with pink splashes

May Your Day Be Filled with Joy Card

Every week the challenge photos are so amazing, every single week, and this week just made me gasp.  See what I mean?

I angled the sentiment strips to resemble the xos on the table runner.
I die-cut the bow from the Ink to Paper Birthday Bouquet dies, love them.

I loved the xos all over the table runner but decided that I would allow one, ombre distressed "xo", to make my statement since my card wasn't intended to be a valentine card.  I decided to use the negative strip too and adhere the "x" on top of the strip and the "o" peeking out behind the strip.

I wanted to make sure to add the touches of black back into the white space, so I decided to stamp my sentiment from the new Ink to Paper It's a Sign Birthday set in black and allow it to represent more of the "xos".

The rest of the team's creations are amazing and I hope you check them out!

Thank you for visiting!
