Card Blog Stalker!

I have several creative blogs that I "stalk" on a regular basis, so I can (hopefully) soak up some of these ladies' creative talents. One of my newest favorite blogs is Cupcake's Creations, showcasing Mona Pendleton's beautiful cards and other creative work.  Recently, I saw a beautiful card at Cupcake's Creations and decided that I wanted to make a card using those same beautiful papers. I love the brown, blue, pink combination, so I purchased the Pink Paislee Sweetness collection and set out to "scrap lift" Mona's beautiful design.  Here is the beautiful card that was my inspiration:

 My card ended up a little bit different than Mona's, but as you can see, Mona's card was my inspiration for this card:

I recently got a new stamp set from the new My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Two collection.  That's where my dress form and banner images are from.  Aren't they cute?!   It's hard to see, but there's a cute, little, pink, chipboard button peeking out from under the bow.

Well, that all for today!  Thanks for stopping by my blog, and if want to see some REAL creativity, stop by Cupcake's Creations!  But be prepared to stay awhile!!  :)

CR84FN34 Color Challenge

Today I'm playing along with the CR84FN34 Color Challenge!  Lavender, celery, and gray make such a pretty combination, and I did my best to combine those three colors.  Here's my take on the challenge:

I had fun playing with my Tim Holtz bird cage die, and a Martha Stewart edge punch.

I used glimmer mist to turn the bird and one of these flowers lavender.  I love the glitter on them.  Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!  It's fun to have visitors!
