Because I was so very much inspired!

main
Hey there!
I have three cards to share with you today! Yes! THREE! These are part of my second card series, the first got a lot of appreciation on Flickr and hopefully I will post them here soon, but for now I was so inspired by Julie Ebersole’s inspiration piece that I went ahead and made these! I know they are nothing like hers and so very different, but I was inspired… truly inspired!

I got really inky with the background and of course added the heat embossed element. Here are the cards individually.

The background has been inked black, added silver heat embossed text, the butterfly is also heat embossed. I love how this one came together, I added quite a few chunky glitter here and there with different size of gems and of course my ever so favourite glitter balls.

This one has the same details, inked background, heat embossed text.. I deliberately wanted that cage stamp to pop up and be part of the design hence the jet blackness! LOL
IMG_2487
Again, the same inky background, black heat embossed text background, glittered frame and heat embossed butterfly.
I am sure you can tell that I was inspired, it happens sometimes when you see just one thing and it sparks your creativity… you feel the need to bring your ideas into a physical form… I wanted to make more… oh so many more and I will. But for now I leave you with these and hopefully you will like them. Everyone likes them here, all three were sold within fifteen minutes of uploading them to my FB page! Awesome isn't it!? I feel so blessed, thank you God.

Oh my goodness!! These are just stunning beyond words!!!!
