Els *Day 5*

Here is our last beautiful and inspiring card by Els: I just can't get enough of this card! I love the deep rich color of the flowers against the lightly distressed and stamped background. The stitching provides awesome texture and the perfect border. Finally, one of my favorite things about this card is how Els has attached the sentiment and the touch of ribbon in the top right corner.
Here is my take:
Thanks so much for visitng this week. All of your comments mean the world to me! And extra thanks to Els (aka Be(e)) for allowing me to share your work! Here's one more link to Els' BLOG and PHOTOSTREAM as I'm sure you'll all be stopping by often for more inspiration!

Els *Day 3*

Check out this charming card by Els:

The overall design of this card is gorgeous-- so many possiblities. The torn paper on the top and the bottom creates the perfect background for Els' text stamping. I love the way she has stamped the tree on it's own square panel. Finally, the stitching on this panel is fabulous detail!
Here is my take:

Thanks again for looking! I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far! HUGS!

This is one of those gorgeous cards that just stopped me dead in my tracks! The center panel is like a mini painting! The way Els has designed the background makes the floral image such a stunning focal point. The colors are so rich and regal! And once again, Els has chosen the perfect ribbon and button embellishment for this masterpiece!
Here is my take:

Inspired by...Els, aka Be(e)!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. :) I am very excited to announce that the next featured stamper this week is.... Els, best known as Be(e) on FLICKR and her BLOG. I have admired her cards for quite some time and can't wait to share a few this week. Let's get started; shall we? :) Here is our first inspirational card:The design of this card is so crisp and clean. I love the unique color scheme. Els did a beautiful job distressing the main panel. Isn't that folded corner a great touch?! The subtle text stamping on white adds to the vintage feeling of this card. Finally, that scrumptious ribbon makes the perfect embellishment!

Here is my take: Thanks so much for stopping by and for leaving such kind comments! :) See you tomorrow, my friends, with another beautiful card by Els. Hugs!
