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:

Sarah Martina *Day 2*

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!

Inspired by...Sarah Martina!

Okay, I am soooo thrilled to announce that this week's featured stamper is none other than the uber-talented and beyond sweet Sarah Martina! Whenever I see Sarah's cards my jaw is on the floor for quite some time! She has a beautiful style all her own. And if you haven't already, you will want to add her BLOG to your list of favs! 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!

Brit *Day 5*

I'm so sad to see our week with Brit coming to can end today. But I know this last card by Brit will have your jaw on the floor! I just can't get enough of this wonderful creation! I love the colors, the handmade flowers, the design....I could go on and on. It all adds up to one of those cards that stays in your memory because it's just that pretty! Brit truly has great design sense. I can't wait to see all of the wonderful future creations and videos she has up her sleeve. Remember you can always see more of her work on her BLOG.
Here is my take:And before you go, I have one more card to share with you. I actually made ten of these for an order that my sweet friend, Lori, placed with me. I sure hope she is pleased. She requested that they contain a specific Bible verse (which I love!) and have fall colors. Here's what I came up with:

Thanks again to Brit for allowing me to share her work this week! And thanks to all of you who stop by and visit and who leave such fabulous comments! See you tomorrow with a new Purple Onion Designs card. TGIF!

Brit *Day 3*

If you haven't had your colored pencils out in a while THIS video and card by Brit may just inspire you to get them out: Brit's shading is spectacular. And the bright colors really do pop against the kraft background. I love how she has embellished her image, too. She added the perfect amount of bling! Finally, the way Brit included the sentiment as part of the main circle is genius!!
