Tiffany *Day 4*

I have another elegant card by Tiffany to share today:
There are so many beautiful details on this card. First of all, I love the monochromatic color scheme! The intricate punch and beautiful bow add such an elegant touch. And speaking of details, aren't those pearls just perfect?! I would have never thought to use them with this image, but they work so well. Finally, Tiffany has picked out the perfect sentiment-both in meaning and style!

Here is my take. While the colors on my card are very different than Tif's, I found my inspiration in her overall card design/layout--a center panel, punched on the bottom, and a sentiment below. And I have SUPER FUN announcement today. I have been asked to be a Hero Arts Hostess!! I just love the Hero Arts community, so needless to say I am honored to be a hostess. You can stop by the HERO ARTS BLOG to see a new card of mine and short Q & A. Thanks again for all of your support and encouragement--it means SOO much to me.

Here's a special inspiring project from Tiffany today. I just HAD to share this:

Does Tiffany know how to wrap a gift or what??!! This is such eye candy! Those flowers are such unexpected "bows." I love the bright, bold colors with the lime green wrapping paper! And the ribbon is scrumptious! I don't think I could EVER open a gift that looks this beautiful!

Tiffany *Day 2*

This next card by Tiffany is sssooo elegant:

Can you believe this was made with the same flower stamp as Tiffany's card yesterday!!?? Tiffany is a master of all styles! I love the light colors on this card. It reminds me of a vintage wedding gown or formal dress. The pearls and lace add to the soft texture and feminine feeling of this card. It just doesn't get any better than this!

Here is my take on Tiffany's stunner:

See you again tomorrow with another lovely Paper Girl creation!
