For you


Hello, hello! Popping in tonight with something bright and happy for the Inspired By challenge.


I was inspired by the layers of color and the architectural elements. I pulled out an older PTI die to mimic those arches. A PPP hummingbird and sentiment, along with some DeNami Design hibiscus blooms were layered on then surrounded with a PPP scallop frame.

I was going to add the pink checked paper in a large rectangle. But my in house critic said he thought just an outline of the bright color would be better. He's good, just sayin'!

Wowza, I think your house critic was right! What an awesome creation! That scalloped frame reminds me that I have that die and hardly ever use it! It looks fabulous here!

So fresh, soft and pretty, Lisa ... I too think your in-house critic was right, the scalloped framing is perfect! Hugs, Anita :)

Lisa, as much as it pains me to say it, he's totally right this time! I always knew you guys made a great team! Those arched tags were made for this challenge - add a hummingbird? and I'd say it's pretty much perfection! Well done, you! Thanks for playing!

It's been an age since I've popped in to marvel at your cards! And what a time I picked because I just love this eye-poppingly colorful design! I love how you mimicked the arches with that die and the hummingbird is just beautiful. You're lucky your in house critic offers advice...mine only give me fur which somehow manages to stick to every card! LOL!
