Etsy Inspired #105

Etsy's shop this week is Handmade Whimsy. So many adorable things to draw inspiration from! I chose these Pink and Copper Poppy Hairpins.

I knew exactly where I wanted to start! I punched the paper circles from the paper packaging we get in all of the goodies we buy. I sprayed them with Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist. Yummy! I edged them with the Chocolate Spica glitter pen! Perfect with the Glimmer Mist! The circles are adhered together, a little offset from the previous layer. I glued some beeds to the center of each flower.

After selecting some designer paper from Basic Grey's Bittersweet I chose this sentiment, which I LOVE! Glimmer Mist is painted in the heart with a paintbrush for a little more shimmer!

That long strip across the card has been sprayed with Glimmer Mist too. Why not, right!

Here's the whole card!

Thank you for visiting! I love to have company! Come back anytime!!!

Etsy Inspired Challenge!

It's the 100th Etsy Inspired Challenge! I've only done one of these before, but it's fun and I couldn't miss the 100th! The Etsy shop featured this week is Cathy Walters. She has fantastic pendants! The one below was the first one I saw when going to her shop. I loved it immediately.
This is my card inspired by the pendant. It's so simple, and you know I like to muck it up a lot. There are no ribbons, no flowers, no buttons! I love it though! I used October Afternoon paper. I used Tim Holtz Aged Paper Distress Ink on the edges of the white, the yellow print and to stamp the basket. There is no coloring either. I thought that would distract from the whole idea of the card. I used Unity stamps. The "journey" stamp is from the February, 2009 KOM, Endings & Beginnings. The balloon is from the December, 2009 KOM, Delightful Moments.

Thanks for looking! Have an awesome day!
