Pink is one of my most fave colors to work with so it's no surprise that I chose the picture you see as my inspiration!  I didn't want it to be totally pink so I threw in some chocolate along with some other colors to even it out a bit.  I do LOVE my finished card and I hope you do too along with the rest of the Design Team's work:

The inspiration for my card came from the branches you see on the above necklace.  They reminded me of hanging ornaments and I couldn't wait to make another black & white card....although I ended up using black & silver!!  All in all, I LOVE the final outcome of it and I hope you do too along with the rest of the Design Team's work:

Etsy Inspiration #74

Good Saturday Morning Everyone!
Welcome to another Etsy day and this week's featured store is called Travelingmama.  She features some beautiful photography in her store so be sure and check her out!  Our sponsor this week is Simple Doodles and they're offering up 3 digital images for a lucky winner!!  For your chance to win, visit the above shop, pick your inspiration, make whatever your heart desires & link it to the EtsyInspired Challenge Blog.

I think you can see why I chose that photo for my inspiration!  It totally reminded me of the Soot Stamping technique which just happened to be one of the techniques I taught last month so I HAD to use it not only for my class sample; but for today's challenge as well!!!  I love the smoky feel of the picture and I'm so happy with the way my butterflies came out.  I hope you enjoy it too along with the rest of the Design Team's work:
