And, here are the adorable little hair pins that inspired my card
Okay...okay, I''ll admit that one of the main reasons that I chose these hair pins was because the colors used appear in my new Restoration paper and accessories from Crate Paper! The inspiration for my card came from the floral motif of the hair pins, and the main colors for my card are the gray, yellow and teal of the hairpins.
