This week's Etsy Inspired Challenge (EIC103) comes from the wonderful store of The Caged Fairy that features beautiful jewelry and other treasures. My card was inspired by this Beautiful 3-D Flower and Pearl Necklace and Earring set. I loved the combination of the rich red bloom with the lovely pearls.
This week's Challenge Sponsor is Your Next Stamp. I chose their versatile Garden Greetings set for my design. The fabulous flowers are perfect for paper piecing or coloring, and I love all of the tiny sentiment stamps that are included in the set. I thought Hope worked well with my single Rose design.
I used some Fancy Pants papers, Tim Holtz Ideology Symphony Tissue tape, and Zva Creative Pearl Flourishes to accompany my paper pieced rose.
This week's challenge will have three prizes ... one will get to choose an item of their choice from The Caged Fairy. Your Next Stamp will be giving away two of their sets ~ Happy Halloween Fhiona (love that adorable top-hat wearing skeleton) & SkateBoard Dude.
Make sure you stop by the other Design Team Member blogs to check out their inspired creations:
