Smiley from millan.netSmiley from millan.netSmiley from millan.net

It's a beeeeautiful ETSY Inspired Saturday!!!!!! Are you ready to play??? This week has to be one of my very FAVORITES so far!!!! I just LOVE flowers!!! And the flowers and jewelry in this shop are fabulously gorgeous!!!! The shop is I heart flowers...


This stunning purple flower caught my eye.......so colorful and detailed!!!!

  • Stamps: Hydrangea by PSX
  • Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics
  • Paper: Gina K. Pure Luxury White, Paper Temptress Sparkle Purple
  • Accessories: Ribbon, Rhinestones, Cuttlebug
And I have sooooo enjoyed practicing, practicing, practicing my Copic coloring!!! I do love the smaller images too, less area to make mistakes!! LOL So these gorgeous hydrangea images are made up of little areas so coloring is actually very fun and pretty simple!!! And since the flowers are so colorful, a CAS design really shows the images best. I'm trying some different photo-taking techniques.....I'm struggling to get good photos at O'dark-thirty in the morning when I'm usually creating!! LOL So I think I like some of the photos with the black cardstock for the bg. What do you think??

Now our ETSY Inspired Blog is up and running..............so instead of posting Ashley's and the other fabulous and gorgeous DT blog links here............I want you to head to the ETSY Inspired Blog for all the details and links and that's where you'll post your challenge card for an entry to win a wonderful prize of beautiful jewelry from this week's shop!!!!

~ Have A Creative Day! ~
