Thanks for the great inspiration challenge, Stef! For this one we looked at altered bras, really works of art! Not that a buzzard in a Joshua tree has anything to do with boobies in a bra, but, the colors of "Party Girls" on page two hit me, and my card celebrates that party spirit! Here is the link: http://www.quiltersofsc.org/artfullb...tfullbras2.htm
I colored the image using Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol and used some Twinkles for the shadows, and Tombow pens for the hat.
Lacey inspired me today with her sewing on her card, so I tried to go a little nuts like her, only, my thread doesn't show up enough :-( Live and learn, I'll use colored thread next time! Here is her wonderful creation: http://handstampedbylacey.typepad.co...gns/index.html
I hand wrote the saying on the sentiment panel, which I styled after SweetMissDaisy (thanks for the inspiration, Anna!)
Stamp from the High Hopes Hullabaloo.
Thanks for looking!

Crissy, it's so hard for me to understand how you can take inspiration from someone's card. To me, you are the epitome of inspiration. Your cards are so wonderfully fabulous and creative. you just appear to have it all! I loved Lacy's card, but I sure do love yours too. wonderfully crafted and fabulous details. you've got your own style, girl, and it sure is one of the best!
