Pia **Day 6**

(note: after you check out Pia's beautiful card, scroll down for my entry to Lucy's challenge)
Here is our last inspiration card with Pia:

I can't get enough of the colors on this card-- so striking! I love the plaid, too. The scallop shape adds to this lovely design. The beautiful patterned circle is the perfect place for Pia's gorgeously colored butterfly to perch! Finally, Pia's beautiful photograph shows off this unique birthday card!

Here is my take. I was inspired by the plaid in Pia's card and also her beautiful butterfly. My card is also for Lucy's card challenge -- "Wings and Strings." I used Tim Holtz's technique with alcohol inks to make the plaid and I stitched the grass on top of the Stampin' Up grass stamp. Thanks again for looking! And I hope you all believe me when I say I just love reading your comments and when you just stop by to take a peek!! I have been completely blown away with all of your kind comments and encouragement this week! AND Pia-- thanks for the amazing inspiration!!

See you tomorrow! :)
