Cattails

It's Wednesday and that means there  is an 
"Inspiration Post" at the Gingerloft Challenge.
This week I am lucky enough to be able to highlight the cattails digi from Gingerloft Designs. I love cattails and remember as a kid being able to get them along the neighboring creeks. I always thought they were the most interesting plants to touch. On my inspiration card I have highlighted the cattails against a background of chevron designer papers. And, you know how chevrons are such a hot trend now.
Best of all - if you like cattails - this great digi is only 50 cents for one week only.

    I am crazy about this card. Love, love, love it. Are the cat tails "popped up" because they just jump off the card!! Maybe it's the way you shaded. One of my favorites of yours!! Spectacular.
