Now on to the Challenge!
Congrats to Etsy inspired blog for their 100th challenge! Participating in these challenges has helped me so much in "unblocking" a clogged creative pipe in my head. Thank you for providing these great challenges and introducing me to such great Etsy Shops!
I wanted to do a combined challenge. I wanted to be true to both challenges (which is a challenge in itself). So this week I combined with a great challenge from Embellish Magazine. See their great blog HERE.
My Card:
For the Etsy Inspired challenge the shop is Cathy Walters. She makes super cute pendants. All the items were so beautiful I actually picked more than one for inspiration.
Embellish Magazine's challenge was this gorgeous color pallet and birds.
I am especially proud of this card because I actually scanned in a bird image from a bird field guide I bought at half price books for $2. I combined it with a beautiful font I have and printed it on watercolor paper. I am really happy with how it turned out.
Thanks for taking a look. Be sure to check out my Etsy Shop!
This is AWESOME!!! I love the bird image on top of that beautiful script!! BEAUTIFUL layout and papers! Thanks for playing EIC!
ReplyDeleteI scanned this week too ... I usually just rip it out and use it directly on my card ... now you'll have that image to use again and again ... it's so lovely with the text ... wonderful inspired design.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing how you did that...brilliant idea! And the results? Gorgeous!! :)
