Squeaking in under the wire for the Etsy Inspired Challenge #100 this week. I just found out about this yesterday, and once I saw the shop that was the inspiration, I just couldn't resist a little card creation. Our inspiration was to be one of the gorgeous pendant charms from Cathy Walter's Etsy Shop. I chose this gorgeous pendant - so vintage and pretty, and I knew just the stamps I wanted to use. All of the stamps used come from the Paris Exposition plate from Artistic Outpost. I made my own green patterned paper using all of the phrases, either embossed in white or simply stamped in black. I used the two balloon images for the feature panel, and tied it up with a little ruffled ribbon and a little charm as a nod to the product that is inspiring us.
The weekend is very nearly here peeps! Hope you have a great one planned, with a little crafty time, of course! :)
