Sarah Martina *Day 5*

I'm so sad to see our week with Sarah coming to an end, but I saved one of my MOST favorite cards of hers to share today:Ummm, yeah. After looking at that card I know your jaw is hanging on the floor and your socks are knocked off across the room! WOW. WOW. WOW. (Did I mention "wow??") This is such a monochromatic beauty! I love the shades of green and that lace stamp by Hero Arts never looked better. And again, Sarah knows just how to add the perfect embellishments with her ribbon and pearls.
Here is my take. I was especially inspired by Sarah's use of the color green, so I decided to make a green version of my ornament card (seen HERE).

A BIG thanks for Sarah for all of the inspiration she provides to the cardmaking community--thank you for allowing me to share a tiny snippet of your fantastic work on my blog this week!! Thanks also for everyone who has stopped by and for all of your lovely comments! HUGS and see you tomorrow with another Purple Onion Designs card. :)

Sarah *Day 3*

It's a festive day here on "Inspired by..." Check out Sarah's beautiful card:

Once again I just can't get over all of Sarah's lovely embellishments! From the ribbon to the buttons to the felt they all add up to one gorgeous card. I love the colors on this card, too! The orange and teal are so striking and perfect for fall. Finally, Sarah's distressing around the outside of her card is lovely!
Here is my take. I decided to do a Christmas card:

Here's our next card by Sarah:

Three words--- GORGEOUS. SHABBY. CHIC. Yep, I think it's official, Sarah is the Queen of charming shabby chic cards. I love the texture of the white background paired with the soft purple and yellow of the flower and ribbon. The tag with script is a fun layer on this card, too. And don't forget that little button- pure perfection.

I must admit, shabby chic is a style I love, but I have trouble replicating. This is definitely not one of my favorite cards, but I decided to post it anyways. Here is my take (quite humble compared to Sarah's!!): Thanks again for popping by! See you tomorrow! HUGS!

Here's our first card by Sarah: This card is a sparkling example of the beautiful embellishments Sarah always adds to her cards. They take her creations to the next level! I love the unexpected color combo for this Christmas card. And isn't the distressed music note background perfect!? LOVE IT!
