Aren't ALL of those flowers beautiful?! I love that Agata used text on the flowers and kept them white! The ever so light distressing on the edges give them great dimension, too! The woodgrain on the flower pot adds visual interest. Finally, I find it so amazing how Agata created this neutral card that really packs a punch and is so eye catching. Here is my take. I was especially inspired by Agata's text flowers in white.

Isn't this just striking? I love the simplicity and how the focus is on those SUPER cute photos!! The color blocking is fantastic! And by placing the color squares and photos on kraft, they really come to life! Finally, the small butterflies are perfectly placed and make a fantastic embellishment!

Well, it's nothing fancy, but I'm happy with how it turned out. Do you have any pictures of your crafting space that you'd like to share? Leave a comment with a link and I'd love to check it out! :) Thanks for stopping by and make sure you don't miss today's earlier "Inspired by..."
This vibrant card is just brilliant! The background is brimming with rich color and the lightly stamped flourish is subtle and pretty! I love the way Agata has stamped the center panel with text and that gorgeous floral image. The colors on the flowers really "pop!" This card is a STUNNER (but so are all of Agata's cards so I'm not surprised!).
Thanks everyone for stopping by! I will see you tomorrow with another one of Agata's lovely creations!
This bouquet is as good as the real thing! The lace doily stamp and text paper make the perfect holder for those roses! And speaking of the roses- aren't they such fab colors??! Finally, Robin's simple embellishments, from the tag with the sentiment to the pearls on the roses, round out this beautiful card!
Thanks again,

These bright colors and eastern influence make such a fun combination! I love how Robin used pink, white, and yellow with black! Soooo striking! The dimensional butterly adds a fun flair to this card. And finally, the embossing is the perfect touch!
Thanks again for stopping by! Be SURE to stop by tomorrow for more of Jane's awesome images AND another card by Robin!! :) HUGS!

The blue and brown color scheme on this card is so soft and easy on the eyes! In addition to the color scheme, the gingham and lace punch give this card a great country feeling. Finally, isn't it fun the way Robin attached the ribbon with the button off to the side?
And I have a bonus to share with you today. My sweet 12 year old sister-in-law is in town and we got to spend a little crafty time together last night. So fun! Here is her fabulous take using Robin's card as inspiration:
Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments! I am really busy this week with work, so I did not have time to type up my list of materials/supplies for this card. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me. :) 

Robin's card is so warm and beautiful! I love the tones of yellow and gold mixed with the grey. The heart stamped with the flourish is the perfect resting place for that cute bird! And how about the creative way Robin attached her sentiment?! Perfect! I just love that ribbon!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you tomorrow with another of Robin's delightful creations! Hugs!
I love the unique color scheme Robin has used here! It's so eye catching! And the soft white polka dots make for a nice, delicate detail. Finally, Robin's shading and glitter center give the flower wonderful dimension!
Now I know we are a few months from Christmas :) but I just HAD to share this card of Anne's! I love the nontraditional colors and all of the layers of scrumptious stamping! Anne has also embellished this card to perfection with small pearls and a ribbon fit for royalty! Finally, I love, love, LOVE the unique design of the layered tags that form the shape of the card!!
I love how the colors just pop against the craft background! Even the touches of white are so vibrant! The overall stamping design is very different and unique. The way Anne has stamped the floral elements across the card front is very eye catching! Finally, I love the punched edge with the white highlight!
Thanks for stopping by! See you tomorrow with our last day with Anne!
Anne's card is amazingly bold and artistic! I so admire her skills! I love the way she has added water splotches and trails in the distress ink. It goes perfectly with the dandelion frame stamp. The colors of this card make me smile and the touch of ribbon and border punch at the bottom add a lovely finishing touch!
Thanks again for stopping by and for leaving such SWEET and KIND comments. I don't think I can tell you enough--THANK YOU! :)
I love the metallic and distressed look of the background! The touches of pearl and blues contrast perfectly with the rust colored flowers. And Anne's innovative design makes for a SUPER fab gift card holder!!
See you tomorrow!
Anne's big pink flower makes my heart happy! I love the dots she's added to the flower. They coordinate so well with the polka dot patterned paper. This card also has such a unique color combo which adds to its whimsical appeal!
Thanks for looking!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Oh, be sure to check out the 




This next step is shown on black paper so you can see the technique. This is what you would do with your small, white center panel that you have just sprinkled with white embossing powder (in the previous step). 

Can you believe that this is her first try with Copics?!! I love the shading on the flowers and the grass at the bottom looks awesome, too! The purple is such a regal color choice. Barb's overall design perfectly draws attention to the focal image. Finally, the rounded corners and embossing finish off this beauty of a card!
Thanks so much everyone for stopping by this week! AND BIG THANKS to Barb for playing along and allowing me to share your talent on my blog! If you haven't been to visit Barb's
I love the unique way Barb has used this Hero Arts grass stamp! By stamping it in white on that beautiful blue she has added a bit of magic to her scene! It reminds me of a warm, starry, summer night. The organza ribbon complements Barb's color scheme. Finally, Barb always pays close attention to details like the tiny pearls on the butterflies!
