Inspired

Inspired... by etsy (again). I've already joined in at Etsy Inspired Challenges this week for their 100th Challenge Party, but I was so inspired by Cathy Walters's Etsy Shop that I had to make another card.



This one was inspired by the gorgeous pendant made by Cathy, AND the neutral colours I used were inspired by the 'reflections' photograph which is featured at The Shabby Tea Room this week:



I used: Bazzill kraft cardstock, Coredinations cardstock, 'Jules Jewels' Cuttlebug EF, Spellbinders butterfly die, A2Z Scraplets 'Borders 05' chipboard scallop (with KaiserPaint 'Candy' and KindyGlitz 'Pink'),  Green Tara flower.  Button, vintage music paper and twine.

    What a great take on both challenges! I love the embossed kraft paper and the flower and butterfly, too. The touches of sparkle are perfect for our reflections theme this week in the Tea Room. Thanks for playing along with us.
