This week I'm tipping my 'hat' to all of the Splitcoaststampers.com artists with a fun inspiration site called The Village Hat Shop! I think you'll find the site a lot of fun to browse, as well as to get some inspiration. You can take it from so many perspectives; texture and color, style, era, the 'mad hatter', or even what the hat might remind you of as far as life experiences or stories. Just have fun with it, I did! Tipping my hat to Faith
Challenge Goals: Please don't be tempted to upload a card that you have made prior to this challenge, just because an image on the board reminds you of it - this is all about creating from an inspiration. :cool: So, please take the challenge of allowing your creative juices to flow based on the images you browse this week. Remember, it can just be the color palette or style that ignites your creativity. Whatever draws you to the designs, take the challenge of doing something uniquely inspired today.
Please remember that all inspiration links should be inspired by The Village Hat Shop. Remember that your card might also end up on my Ongoing Inspiration Genius Board too, especially if it shows signs of extra deep inspiration! (smiles)
Use the keyword: IC563(no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

I was inspired by the Pixie Floral Hair Clipand went with a fussy cut flower from SU's fifth avenue floral, adding 2 dc daisies in apple green and purple underneath. Added some hand cut leaves, and did a bit of coloring. Coordinated my brads with my flower's central beads, and did a 2 fabric border. Here's Floral hello

So, I had it in my head to do a trellis down the side of the card you know, like in a straight line... and when I made time to go upstairs and play I spied this wreath die and thought what the heck. ( its nearly a perfect CASE of the headband) lol
Was sick again yesterday and in bed ... I decided to do a card a day late anyway. Since I love this challenge and this was so cute!!

I've always thought those "fascinators" worn by the younger members of the British royal family to be most bizarre, so wanted to take a look at the fascinator section on the inspiration site and found something that inspired this card:
