STEFANIE....this is the stuff little girl DREAMS are MADE of!!!! What an awesome site, I could play all day....and after much deliberation and different cards swimming around in my head the whole time I tried to sleep last night I chose this one:
My images are not quite as full of whimsy, a little more artsy, but I am still really happy with how this turned out. I almost never say that about my own stuff when anyone else is listening, and especially not on here. But you know what it is? Stefanie's choices of websites take me to places I would never go on my own in stamping. What, SERIOUSLY, ONE LAYER??? SILVER EMBOSSED?? And I get stretched everytime and I end up with a creation where I say "I" made that.....not just I made that, but "I" made THAT!! So thanks Stefanie, for bringing it week after week. One more little issue I have though, the artist of this wedding invitation that I chose to be inspired by should actually be FIRED!!! Because she actually FORGOT THE BOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I went ahead and took care of that for her......Happy Saturday everyone!!

I loved your write-up Karen! Totally from the heart. And your card - WOW about covers it. One layer cards just about do me in. This is spectacular. I am amazed.

Karen, I am glad you moved out of your comfort zone as this is stunning. The silver embossing along with the vivid floral images is really striking together. Your bow- what can I say? You were so right, has to be there. TFS.

Your comment truly made my day ... I am so thrilled when people try new things and go down new paths ... because that's what true inspiration is all about ... absolutely fabulous inspired design.

This is truly a work of art! I am a huge fan of Cloisonne and this card is the papercraft version of that! So beautiful and the colours are stunning. It REALLY DOES look enamelled x
