Debbie *Day 4*

Here is today's inspirational card by Debbie:
This card is such a charmer! First of all, Debbie has done it again with another great background. The tiny flowers and butterflies are just too cute! The oval shaped sentiment is a nice design element. Finally, Debbie has added such nice details like the layered flowers and tiny gems.
Here is my take: Thanks sooo much for dropping by. I hope you will be able to visit tomorrow for our last day of inspiration with the talented Debbie! Hugs!

Debbie *Day 3*

Have I mentioned that Debbie is a pro with the alcohol inks? Check out this stunner:
Debbie's background is such a jaw-dropper! I love, love, LOVE it. And don't you love the way she has added a strip of that alcohol inked paper to the bottom of the card? Nice touch, Debbie! Finally, the white embossing is so fresh and bright--this card definitely makes me smile. :)

Debbie *Day 2*

Here is our next pretty card by Debbie: So pretty!! I just love those bright flowers against the light blue background. They remind me of a sweet spring day. The die cut shape is a great design element. Debbie has also chosen the perfect sentiment to go with her beautiful flowers. Finally, I love the subtle white embossing in the background. It provides great texture to this charming card!
Here is my take: See you tomorrow, my friends!

Inspired by... Debbie!

Our next "Inspired by..." stamper really caught my eye with her natural creations and beautiful stamping. I love her elegant designs! It is... Debbie (dedernc3 on flickr)! And Debbie has a great BLOG, too, which you will definitely want to check out. Here is our first inspiration card by Debbie: I love how Debbie has combined the floral images with the dandelion frame. The tiny black border around the main image is a professional touch that makes the sentiment and butterfly "pop." And speaking of butterflies, isn't Debbie's gorgeous?!
Here is my take:Thanks so much for stopping by! See you tomorrow with our next awesome card by Debbie!

Inspired by...Julie! (POD)

Today's inspirational Purple Onion Designer is none other than the talented Julie Dudley. Julie makes the most beautiful cards and scrapbook pages. You can see more of her awesome work on her BLOG. Here is Julie's inspiration card: This card is just so soft and sweet! The peach color of the flowers is so appealing. And I love the way Julie has used the spring sentiment stamp to create the stems of the flowers. Finally, the embossed backround adds the perfect amount of texture!
Here is my take: Once again I just can't get enough of THIS Purple Onion set (Stems and Grass). The butterfly is from the POD Vintage Butterfly set, and the sentiment is from Doodle Flower Sentiment, available HERE.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks, Julie, for the fabulous inspiration!! :)

Mariana *Day 5*

Here is our last inspirational creation by Mariana:Just look at that butterfly?!! AMAZING!!! And Mariana has created the perfect background to showcase it. I love the embossed background on kraft. The touch of black around the sentiment is elegant along with the pretty row of pearls. Finally, the stitching is a great finishing touch.
Here is my take. I was also inspired by THIS awesome card by Jennifer McGuire. Thanks again, my friends, for stopping by this week. You always make my day! And BIG thanks to Mariana for playing along. I am your biggest fan and always look forward to visiting your BLOG and PHOTOSTREAM to see what you've cooked up next. :)
See you all tomorrow for Purple Onion Inspiration Saturday!

Mariana *Day 4*

Here is our next card by Mariana:Oh, how I love that butterfly! The touch of bling is brilliant on both the butterfly and the pearls near the sentiment. And how about this color scheme?! Mariana really has a gift for working with color. And don't forget to look close at Mariana's cards for all of the wonderful details like the embossing, stitching, and twine antennae on this card!
Here is my take. I just love coloring in this butterfly by Hero Arts:
