I am up way too late! But I really was inspired by the inspiration challenge for today! The challenge today is the artwork by Sarah Collier. I chose this piece to use as my inspiration:
I stamped the image onto vanilla cardstock. I masked off the circle and the left side to sponge Bashful Blue. While still masking, I sponged the right side with Barely Banana. Then I sponged the circle with Creamy Caramel. The sentiment from Our Daily Bread designs, Flourished Christian Symbols, is stamped with Memento Brown. I then covered the design with a piece of clear window sheet, attached at the top with brads. I tied a pretty piece of yellow ribbon to hold the bottom together and then attached the whole thing to a Bashful Blue base card. I have no idea who makes the bird image. I bought it at a rubber stamp show and it is unmounted rubber. Thanks for looking and sleep tight!

I love how the masking and sponging really changes the entire appearance of the stamp and adds such dimension to the design without bulk ... amazing inspired card.
