I'll admit I wasn't exactly excited by the prospect of the Barbie website for the inspiration challenge, but after browsing around for a bit I must confess I was very inspired! I took this Japanese Barbie http://www.barbiecollector.com/node/7452 and went with the Asian theme. I wanted to break out a retired Asian set that I own, but challenged myself to use something current and I'm excited by how well the Silhouette Sentiments worked. I used a set from the upcoming SAB for the punched sentiment and added a black border around a second larger scallop using my Versamark pen and black ep. I echoed the Barbie's shoes by creating a black lattice using a 1/4" square punch and threading some gold cardstock through it. The gold is embossed, next time I might emboss the black too.

I thought of Japan Barbie too. You made a wonderful card from the inspiration. I love it.
I wasn't too wild about this site either, but as I looked I found a few that inspired me.
