Wednesday - Cards I Love. . . .

Will you all indulge my excessive photos of this card? Because this card has been in my mind for a very long time.
Back story... I did a challenge a few years ago to create a card inspired by art.... I used one of my favorite Van Gogh paintings and was pleased with the results. Pleased until the mini catalog came out....
Let me show you.
Here is the Van Gogh:

More drooling here. I love Van Gogh and your cards are beautiful...especially your second take. My favorite Van Gogh is Starry Night. I think you should do one like that.
