Rosemary *Day 6*

To start with, today is an important day--- HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSEMARY!!! :) Hope you have a wonderful day!

Here today's inspiration card from Rosemary:

The first thing that caught my eye on this card is Rosemary's wonderful color choices! Gold, blue and yellow go so well together! Her stamped design is SO striking. Rosemary creates lovely balance on her card using her pretty punch on the top and the botton of her card. Finally, her ribbon and button are the perfect embellishments!

Here is my take on Rosemary's card:

Rosemary *Day 5*

Hi all! Hope your week is going well. Here is the inspiration card for today, created by the talented Rosemary:

One thing I really love about Rosemary's cards is that she is never afraid to try a new style or technique. And no matter what style or technique she uses, her cards are always amazing! This card is a perfect example of a minimalist design. Her flowers look beautiful and really shine on this card! I love her rectangular shape at the base of the flowers. It's like a pretty little window box full of blooming flowers!

In the spirit of trying a new style, I decided to try my skills at something different. I actually made a card without a butterfly or script in the background! Unbelievable; right? :) I hope you enjoy my mini snowglobes.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Inspired by... Rosemary!

Hi everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for my blogging and Hero Arts flickr friends. Your sweet comments and encouragement always make me smile. :)

I just couldn't wait to post this week's featured stamper---

Our featured stamper this week is Rosemary! (Rosemary D. to us Hero Arts flickr folks) If you are looking for inspiration, be sure to check out her flickr photostream. It is full of inspiration and she posts new, fabulous cards often!

You are going to love this first inspiration card by Rosemary:

Isn't it gorgeous?? First of all, I love the purple--so bright and royal looking! It looks really great against the kraft background. Rosemary's butterfly is stunning. It is so dimensional. It looks like it just landed on a beautiful piece of text paper! The shading behind the butterfly makes it appear as if it is glowing in the sunlight. The glitter on the butterfly adds to this affect. This card is just so stunning!

Here is my take:

I was inspired by Rosemary's bright colors, dimension, touch of ribbon, and white edge at the bottom of her stamped text.

Thanks again for stopping by! Be sure to come back tomorrow for more inspiration and gorgeous cards by Rosemary!!
