Guest Designing with the EIC #132!

I'm sad to say that this is my final post as March guest designer for the Etsy Inspired Challenge! *sniff* I've had such a fun time playing along. I want to thank my sweet friend Ashley for inviting me, De for helping me figure out what's what and the rest of the team for making me feel welcome. You ladies ROCK and this challenge is so much fun!! So without further ado, let's get on to today's card...


The shop this week, Fresh Metal Jewelry, is really gorgeous - beautiful jewelry, most with fabulous fabric flowers. I chose this piece for inspiration:


I loved the pink and brown combo. I was going to use a more chocolaty-brown on my card, but the ink I had was lighter. I still like the combination, though! I pulled out one of my favorite Hero Arts backgrounds - Antique Flower - and also more of the rose ribbon that I adore. I had thought about making my own fabric flowers but I suppose I got lazy when I saw this yummy ribbon just sitting there on my shelf! I added a little light blue scallop border, which sort of mimics the stone the necklace is sitting on in the photo.

Now make sure and head on over to the Etsy Inspired Challenge blog and check out the full contest details - including the prize info!! And also visit the rest of the fabulous EIC team:


Thanks for stopping by today!
