Ok, I totally feel like I cheated on this card! This week's Inspiration Challenge is from the sweetest (literally and figuratively) cupcake website and I chose these totally adorable daisy cupcakes here to be inspired by. The cheating part is those darling little daisies are all K & Co. stickers...all I did was emboss the sentiment and add some lace and ribbon. Took me all of 15 minutes...versus uh, hours for my other cards. I should have called this one Sweet Liberation!

K&Co make the most wonderful stickers so don't feel bad for using them. When it comes to making cards, I think we should use all available products--not every single thing has to be handmade by us, to be beautiful! Some of my favorite, well-known designers (Sarah Martinez, Viola Mahr, Kristina Werner, Ashley Cannon-Newell) use LOTS of pre-made stickers, chipboard and other pieces on their cards and their cards are outstanding! These daisies are such a beautiful bright white and look terrific on your sweet card! I like the yellow ribbon over the lace, too. Beautiful card!

Ah yes, Andrea, but you have to know how many stickers to use, what sizes would look best together and what the perfect placement for them would be, which of course you did all to the same standard of balance and perfection as the rest of your cards (that's where I would spend hours trying to figure out the perfect layout!!) Glad you had a liberated day and came up with such a cute little beauty to share with the rest of us. Hugs~
