IBSIC#22-Featured Artist

Hi Friends!

I am truly honored!  I was recently asked by Joanna Munster with
Inspired by Stamping to be the featured artist for a week!
She as the most wonderful sketches/inspiration photos to follow for the
challenges! Please check out her wonderful line of stamps and
embellishments....gorgeous!

So, the challenge this week was to follow this fab sketch...



I couldn't wait to see what goodies I could come up with to do this sketch
justice!  I used a Tattered Angels frame and sprayed it with glimmer
mist.  A few dies were used for the focal point.  I felt something was
missing, so I adhered silver glass in the center near the sentiment.  Lace,
ribbon, pearls and a beautiful Prima flower were added to finish off the
card.

Please go over and check out the super amazing blog and play along.  You
will be inspired by the very talented design team!  Thank you so much
for dropping by today!  Take care, hugs!

  9. Hello Maria! I was so excited to see you are our guest at Inspired By Stamping. :) And I must have a loose nut in my head, 'cause I could have sworn I already commented on your GORGEOUS shabby chic card, but my comment wasn't here. (can you hear the wind whistling right through my ears? aye yi yi!)

    I love your vintage/shabby style. You've always got a delicate, feminine, soft style I love to see!
