As promised, I have a color-coordinated card to go with the new blog look AND a giveaway at the bottom of this post...
First, a little bit of detail just to show you how good Veronica (blog-designer extraordinaire) is. I didn't have much of an idea of what I wanted. I just knew that I loved the clean graphic style of her new designs and wanted her to do something similar, but I wanted to give her something more for direction. Recently, I picked up a gorgeous book, Paperie for Inspired Living, and pictured inside of it was this gorgeous purple and green inspiration board...

That shows you her pure genius...she knew exactly what I wanted and created this gorgeous blog design. I highly recommend her blog-design services (plus, she is just plain fun to work with...)
*********
And now for my project that I made inspired by the same inspiration board...
For this card, I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch (#105.) I used a Parisian stamp set that I have had for a while from TJ Designs (part of Tweety Jill), but had just not had the opportunity to get it inky. It was perfect for this project.
The shape for the main focal point of the card is the stamp from Unity's Birdie Inspiration kit.
Lots of little details on this project (this is my favorite style!)
Supplies used:
*TJDesigns- Journey to France Stamp set
*Unity Stamp Co. Birdie Inspiration (focal journal shape stamp)
*Memory Box papers (purples)
*Prima digital paper (green background)
*discontinued corner punch from 3 grrrls
*flat-backed pearls
*CTMH Pansy Purple inkpad
*StazOn Jet Black inkpad
*Fiskars border punch
*ribbon and trim
*******
And now for the fun part,
leave a comment here today and tomorrow morning I will draw a winner from the commenters to win this stamp kit from Unity, Frame this Alpha.
