It's an Etsy-Inspired Blog Hop!!!!

Good morning!

And welcome to the Etsy-Inspired Blog Hop!!!

Such fun stuff for today, but first things first. If you didn't start this blog hop at Ashley's blog then you need to head over and start there first because there are some fun prizes to be won and some serious inspiration to be had and I don't want you to miss out. She has all the details for you!

My long-time readers know that I am all about finding inspiration for your art and Etsy.com is an amazing place for that. I love that about the Etsy Inspired challenges! A couple of months ago, I found a fairy artist that just blows me away every time I look at her art... it's nothing short of incredible... every single piece. Let me introduce you to The Fairy and the Inspirational Art of Rachel Anderson and today's inspirational piece for my little section of the blog hop, the Sunset Fairy...

And here is the card that I made that was inspired by it (my colors are really off on this photo---that pink really is the same shade as her dress in the drawing...)

Supplies used:

*Unity Stamp Co. Butterfly Beauty

*Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (shimmer on the butterfly) and Chipboard

*Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

*watercolor pencils

*flat back pearls

*MM velvet ribbon

*Martha Stewart butterfly punch

A close up so you can see the shimmer on the butterfly...

For your challenge, head on over to www.etsy.com and choose any shop and any piece to be inspired by and create something. It doesn't get any easier than that!

There is lots of fun to be had all day long. I hope that you will play along!

Now you need to hop on over to...
