Who inspires you?

Hi everyone,

 

I have created a card and the sentiment is “You Inspire Me”.  What powerful words!

So who inspires you?  I think I am inspired by many people as I believe that you can be inspired in so many ways.

 

I will leave you with that thought and share with you my card I made.

 

The layout was inspired (there is that word again) by the sketch layout at Create with Connie and Mary and colour choice was found at Paper Pal Arts.

 

I have used Chocolate Chip for the base of my cards and I have made great use of the Big Shot.

 

I am in a butterfly mood once more and used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die and Beautiful Butterflies Die.  The background of the Certainly Celery card stock  and on the large butterfly was created using the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder.

 

The sketch contained a curvy line so that is why my little butterflies are sort of in a curly line and some of the retired Very Vanilla Velvet Designer Ribbon has been attached to the main butterfly.

 

Here’s my card:

Stamp set: Perfect Words (Hostess)

Butterflies once more…

Hi everyone,

 

Hope that your week has been good, my weekend has come early no work tomorrow having a day off – yeah!

 

I do have a card to share with you ……

 

I have used the current sketch at Fetch A Sketch for the layout and once more there are butterflies appearing :)

 

The layers of butterflies have been created using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.  Love this die as it is so easy to create the butterflies. 

 

The butterflies are embossed and cut when you put the die through the Big Shot.  The extra butterflies that are not used each time I place in a container for later use and they always come in handy to add that little bit extra.

 

My colours this time are Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride with Very Vanilla.  I have stamped the swirl from the Creative Elements stamp set and the sentiment is from the My Friend stamp set.

Stamp set: Creative Elements, My Friend

Hello card

Hi everyone,

 

Just wanted to share with you a card I created using the Elementary Elegance Stamp set and the Everyday Enchantment DSP that is available during Sale-A-Bration.

 

I was looking at the colour challenge at Pals Paper Arts - Lucky Limeade, Always Artichoke and a colour of your choice?  Hmm interesting don’t you think?  What colour would you choose?  I decide on Calypso Coral.

 

The sketch was inspired by Card Patterns Sketch # 155 and my card has Always Artichoke for the base of the card.  The circles were created with the Circle Scissor Plus in Calypso Coral.

 

The leaves/bud image is from the Fabulous Florets stamp set which is in the Summer Mini Catalogue and has been stamped with Lucky Limeade ink.

 

The flowers are from scraps I had from cutting the main DSP and I punched the flowers out using the Boho Blossoms Punch.  The second layer of the flowers has been punched out with the same punch and the card stock is Very Vanilla.

 

Unfortunately you cannot see in the photo but I have coloured the Rhinestones in with the Lucky Limeade marker and they have a light tint of ink – just to be different but still with ‘bling’ !

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Fabulous Florets, Elementary Elegance

Card: Always Artichoke, Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla 
Ink: Always Artichoke, Lucky Limeade

Accessories:  Circle Scissor Plus, Boho Blossoms Punch, Always Artichoke Grosgrain Ribbon (Retired), Lucky Limeade Marker, Everyday Enchantment DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I have a few friends that I need to send a card to so this will be a great card to use for one of them.
