Well you all know how much I LOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE doing Beate’s weekly inspiration Challenges!!!

I actually missed out on last weeks, just from being busy and not getting the chance to participate, but I didn’t want that to stop me because the image was just so cute, and certainly something different for me.

So here is last weeks image:

Dang that is a bright handbag!!! Whilst it is rather funky, I really don’t know if it is something I would have hanging off my shoulder……probably because it has yellow in it, and you all know my relationship with yellow! LOL!

So using this image as inspiration, I came up with this:

I thought I would make the card sit similar to the bag….with the cut angled down each side. I then stamped the little stamp randomly on the background with Tempting turquiose ink. I then paper pierced a border around the edges.

I added the strip of Black cardstock which I mounted with Olive DS paper  from the Fall flowers paper pack I have created the three layered flowers using the matching cardstock colous….Not quite navy, Tempting tuquiose, Yoyo yellow, Old olive, Basic black, and Whisper white.

I have also used the Eastern blooms stamp set and cut the little flowers out for the centres, adding either a brad, or glitter.

Last of all I added the greeting which is from the So many saying stamp set (hostess) and cut it into the little strips. I have also added 3 black brads at the right hand side of the strip.

Hmm….almost looks like it needs a handle hey!

Right for this weeks Inspiration challenge the inspirations piece was this:

Now Beate says on her blog…..that after she picked this image, she didn’t know what she was thinking…..I had the same thought cross my mind! LOL! But Beate’s own card is amazing!!!! You have to go and check it out for sure!

My little humble attempt at this HARD challenge is this:

Now the only little birdie I had was this one from the Always stamp set! I have used Lovely Lilac cardstock for the base, and added some swirly bits of Almost amethyst, and Lavendar lace cardstock at the top, to emulate the swirls in the picture. Followed by a strip of White taffeta ribbon.

Next I created the circle with my Creative Memories circle cutter, with Elegant eggplant cardstock. I punched out little 1/4′ circles in different colours (to match those in my birdie) and placed them on the underside to ge the multi-coloured scalloped edge.

Now for the bird I scribbled some different colours with my markers alongside each other. Then I have stamped the bird with my Versamark ink pad, and placed it over the colours. I then embossed it with White embossing powder, and cut the little birdie out. I mounted it onto the circle, and paper pierced around the edge of the circle.

The last step I added the greeting, which again is from the So many sayings stamp set (hostess) and cut it out, and finally added two white brads (not SU) to the top right hand corner. Oh and a little paper piercing in the bottom corners…….I can’t seem to make one thing without paper piercing these days!

Hope you liked them, and I will be back with the Challenge winners, and a new one for you
