Blog Takeover: Alice

Hello, every one! Alice Wertz here. I am thrilled and honored to take over Jill's blog for a day. Thank you so much for inviting me, Jill! You are amazing and I hope I can do your blog justice. =) Here is the card that I drew my inspiration from.

Here is my card:

I used the adorable Garden Visit from Penny Black for my card and used Jill's design for the layout. 

I colored the image with Copic markers and cut it out with a Nestibility die. The sky and grass are colored when the paper was still in the die to give the image a frame.

For the background, I inked a piece of white cardstock with Barn door and Wild Honey distress inks. Hero Arts Flower Dot Pattern is then stamped with both Barn Door and Wild Honey relatively to the inking. I then flicked some water on the piece to get the splotchy look. The sentiment is also from Hero Arts.

That's all I have. Hope I didn't disappoint you. =) Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a lovely day!

hugs,

alice

Alice *Day 3*

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Here is Alice's inspiration card today:

Now, even though Halloween has passed this card has so many fabulous elements that I found inspiring. First, I love the bright yellow moon with the bat that extends beyond the circle. What a great focal point! The design of this card can be adapted to so many different types of cards. The text behind the moon is a great design element. Finally, the color scheme of this card is unexpected and so fun!! Oh! And I almost forgot- the little spiders at the bottom are perfectly spooky! :)

Hi! Here is Alice's card that I chose for inspiration today:

Alice's handmade flower is truly beautiful! I love how she layered the orange and violet papers. The barely there flourishes and pretty blue color create a soft and delicate sky. And you know me and butterflies... I just LOVE Alice's family of fluttering butterflies! Finally, the pattern on her torn grass adds another layer of texture to this already amazing scene!

Inspired by... Alice!!

I am so thrilled to feature Alice this week. For my fellow Hero Arts flickr crew you know her best as "Aliceh83." If you are ever in need of some major inspiration, you have got to run, not walk, to Alice's blog or photostream. She is a master of cardmaking! SO...without making you wait any longer - here is the first inspirational card by Alice:

I don't know where to begin! The first time I laid eyes on this card I had to do a double take. This Christmas card is simply stunning --from the rainbow scalloped edges to the bright unexpected pinks and teals! Finally, I just love the way Alice "laced up" the card!!

Here is my take on Alice's fabulous card. I decided to make a set of 3 cards:

Thanks so much for visiting today! Be SURE to come back tomorrow for more inspiration from Alice!
