Okay, tape on those socks, because they are about to be knocked off by this card by Kelly: Soft, delicate, rich, tasteful, elegant....I could go on and on and on! But I think this pretty much sums it up----> "Kelly, you ROCK!"
Here is my take: Thanks for visiting!

Kelly Rasmussen *Day 2*

Here's our next inspiration card by Kelly: Doesn't this cute little card make you smile?! The mix of large and small polka dots on the background are soooo charming! And I love the color combo of pale blue and green--very fresh and fun for the holiday season. Finally, Kelly never forgets the finishing details. You gotta appreciate the way she has finished this card with the gemstones and that touch of green string!

Inspired by...Kelly Rasmussen

Hello, my stamping friends! Did you all have a nice weekend? I had a great one! :) I got to teach one of my new classes with some fun ladies at my local scrapbook store, Mementos, AND I also got to take a class from my creative friend, Peggy. :)

And now that it's Monday, it is my pleasure to announce that this week's featured artist is the over-the-top talented Kelly Rasmussen! I was first introduced to Kelly's work through the Hero Arts blog and I've been in love with her modern and clean designs ever since! Kelly's work is truly amazing and I know you'll want to spend hours checking out her BLOG and PHOTOSTREAM! Here is our first inspiration card by Kelly: So striking! First of all, I love the boldness of the pink and green against the dark black background. The touches of white, like the border around the green panel, the sentiment, and the ribbon really pull this design together. I also LOVE the way Kelly has layered the stamping of her floral images- just beautiful!!
Here is my take: Thanks for visiting! See you tomorrow with another beyond gorgeous card by Kelly!

It's time for another Purple Onion Designs card and I'm using my new favorite set, Coffee and Tea.
Thanks for visiting! Hope you have a fantastic weekend! :)

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. :)
