This week's Blogger's Challenge was to use something for inspiration when we created our card. Clothing, dishes, colors, whatever... I chose a cute pair of cowgirl boots that I saw on the Sundance site for my inspiration.
I like the delicate floral patterned top portion of the boot matched with the richly colored brown flourishes on the heel and toes. So cute! Of course, is there anything at Sundance that isn't fabulous?!
To create my inspired card, I used designer paper from the Signature Life series by My Mind's Eye. The Signature Life paper line is fantastic!! I used a die cut to create the chipboard flourish on my card, and used a hole punch and Crop-a-dile to create a few holes in the chipboard for interest.
Be sure to check out the other Blogger's Challenge posts for the day (there's a player list on the right)! They're all super!
Wow! Very cool inspiration Anna!

Too Wonderful - - the boots (I can see you gatherin' eggs in those pretties) and the card. Need to get some of that "inspiration" stuff or maybe just stop ignoring those post cards from the eye doctor reminding me it's way past time to see them...
