I am so excited to feature Virginia on the blog this week! Her cards are as sweet as she is! If you are ever in need of some fabulous inspiration and a smile, be sure to check out Virginia's blog and photostream! But, I'm warning you, if you visit Virginia's blog when you are hungry the results could be disastrous-- she frequently posts pics of her delicious cooking! :)
Here is the first inspiration card from the lovely Virginia:
Every time I look at this card I can't help but smile! The bright colors are so cheery. I love the glossy butterflies and Virginia's coloring is divine. The scallop stamp along the sides complements the gorgeous text background. Finally, the gems add the perfect touch of sparkle.
Here is my take. This is also an entry for the Cardvaarks challenge- to use a digital element on your card. My digital element is the bird from Brandy Buffington's kit "Sketchy Birds."
Thanks for stopping by! See you tomorrow with another of Virginia's fun cards!
Supplies:
Stamps: Bird (Brandy Buffington Digi Sketchy Birds), Leaves (Hero Arts CL298), Sentiment (Papertrey Ink); Ink: Black Ink (Stampin' Up), Distress Ink (Tim Holtz); Other; Misc. Cardstock, Gems (Brenda Walton), Flower Punch (Punch Bunch)
