Clare *Day 2*

Here is Clare's sweet card:

The first thing that attracted me to this card was the overall layout/design. I love the dimension of the three layers. The big blue bow on the top is the perfect embellishment. Clare has a keen eye for color, too! The pink butterfly really "pops" against the white background!

Here is my take:Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you tomorrow, my friends! :)
Supplies---Stamps: Roses (Hero Arts CG152), Sentiment (Hero Arts CL342), Text (Inkadinkado); Ink: Distress Ink (Tim Holtz); Other: Butterfly Punch (Fiskars), Border Punch (Martha Stewart), Dimensional Adhesive (All Night Media), Pearls (Recollections), Misc.

Inspired by...Clare!

I'm so excited to share the work of our next talented stamper... Clare! You may know her as ctprezzia on flickr or her fun blog Bearydo Cards Inc.

Here is our first fabulous card by Clare:

And isn't it a beauty? I love her sparkling butterflies against the light pink background! The dark black ribbon makes a bold statement. The polka dot paper was the perfect choice to complement Clare's stamping. Finally, Clare makes the best shaped cards using her die cuts!!

Here is my take. I was so inspired by the pink/red color scheme as well as that dark black ribbon under Clare's butterflies. (And thanks, Kathy, for the fab elephant stamp!)

See you tomorrow with another of Clare's pretty creations!

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!
