Hello everyone.  I have a different form of inspiration for you today for Noelle at Quick Creations.  It may not be new to you, but it is new to me :)  This is a decoupage set from Santoro's Mirabelle Collection.  The set includes six layers of an image, which you can then glue onto whatever base you choose.  I chose to do a card, go figure :)

I layered all six of these layers using dimensional adhesives to give it a very 3 dimensional look.  To finish it off I added some paper from the Mirabelle 2 paper collection also by Santoro/Trimcraft, and some lace from Crafty Ribbons.
