EVA

My friends, I have made a huge mistake. The card posted below is from Sasya's blog, but it is an ATC made for her by her friend Eva. I owe my deepest apologies to Eva and Sasya for my error. But, it did get me checking out Eva's awesome blog which you need to be sure to visit HERE!! In fact, Eva made an entire set of these ATC's which can be seen HERE.

Hi everyone! Thanks for waiting! :) Here is our next card by Eva:First of all, I love, love, LOVE that colorful butterfly! It has such a rich, fun mixture of bright colors. The green background provides a neutral background that really shows off the butterfly and the pretty flower in the corner. Finally, Eva's stitching finishes off this beauty!Here is my take:
See you tomorrow! Hugs!

Running behind...

Sorry, my friends! I am running behind and will post day 2 with Sasya as soon as I can. I have family visiting from out of town so I've been spending lots of time with them. :) Thanks for your patience! Hugs, Jill

Inspired by...Sasya!

Hi and welcome to another week of "Inspired by..." creations. This week's featured artist has a beautiful style all her own...it's Sasya! I just know after you see Sasya's cards you will be running to her BLOG to see all of her lovely creations! Here is our first card by Sasya: Pure beauty; right?!! I love everything here! First of all, the beautiful red and gold background is so elegant. The white butterfly is so striking and really catches the eye. Finally, the way Sasya has attached her ribbon, button and string with eyelets is so unique!
Here is my take:Thanks for stopping by, my friends! See you tomorrow. :)

Inspired by...Purple Onion Designers!

Welcome to another special edition of "Inspired by..." where I will be featuring a fellow POD designer's work and my card inspired by them. Today's inspirational stamper is the super creative Jennifer Holmes. Make sure to check out her BLOG- it's loaded with inspiration! Here's Jennifer's inspiration card:I love Jennifer's clean and simple design! The pink butterfly really "pops" against the kraft background. The coloring effect is also so fun on the butterfly, showing off the details of this great image. The white outline does a nice job of spotlighting the center panel. Who wouldn't love receiving this birthday card?!!

Here is my take. I was especially inspired by Jennifer's bright pink butterfly and neutral background:

All stamps are Purple Onion Designs. The butterflies (Vintage Butterfly Set) are available HERE, the branch set (Hang in There) HERE, and the sentiment HERE. Thanks again for stopping by! And thanks, Jennifer, for playing along! :)

Vanessa *Day 5*

Here is our final inspiration card by the talented Vanessa:

This card is another example of Vanessa's perfectly elegant style! I love the rich green background with the bold fern. Using both the twine and ribbon adds an unexpected, creative twist to this card's embellishments. Finally, the color palette is so natural and appealing!

Here is my take. I was especially inspired by Vanessa's beautiful embossing and ribbon and twine embellishments. AND big thanks to Sue for my new stamp! :)

Thanks again to all of you who stop by and leave such wonderful, sweet comments. And BIG thanks to Vanessa for allowing me to share your work this week. Be sure to add Vanessa's BLOG and PHOTOSTREAM to your favs- I know you will want to check her work out all the time! And remember- I'll see you tomorrow with inspiration from one of my fellow Purple Onion Designers! :) HUGS!
