Lynda is our
Crazy4Challenges hostess for the month of June, and she is starting us off with an inspiration challenge. Isn't this handbag absolutely stunning???? Wowza!!! I tried to recreate the vibrant colors, bird silhouettes, and branching found on the original. I used the branch stamp by Stampscapes and the birds silhouette by I Brake For Stamps. I also used some embossing folders on the orange and green layers, some black pearls, Prima roses, and Spellbinder diecute leaves. I used a piece of scrap dp to break up the solid colors. AND......that is about that!!! Just love the purse and also my card inspired by it!!! (Not to fluff my own feathers....... I just LIKE it!!)
If you are like me and can't wait to see what the rest of this fabulous team has been inspired to create, well then get on over to the
Crazies Blog. I am sure you will be dazzled.
AND....here is another card to share for today.....
Last week was my last challenge as a member of Speedy's Friends Blog Team. However, I still plan to play along whenever possible. This week, the challenge was to use a paper or silk flower on your card. Well, I used ths beautiful water lily being sneak-peeked this week by
Mark's Finest Papers. It is a lovely set with a scene, swans, and water lilies along with fab sentiments. Remember, if you want to play with Speedy's Friends you will see the challenge, details on how to play, and the samples made by the Blog Team
