For Your Inspiration #31















I procrastinated on making my card for today's inspiration. You know sometimes procrastination is a bad thing! I made this card and all was good.


I picked up on the colors and semi windows.  Using gold mirror paper, I tried to pick up the light reflection and I was okay with this card. (GKD Stars)

THEN, I remembered we are having a PRIZE give away from Bugaboo Digi Stamps. Therefore, I had to make another card! [This is where the procrastination is bad] - Because this is a digi, I had to print it. Naturally, my printer ran out of ink! Off to the store I ran to get more ink so I could make this card.


I wasn't happy with the intensity of the colors, so I embossed the entire image with clear embossing powder.  Still not real happy with my sponging, but I have to say, I really do like this image! (Love Conquers)



Okay - did you like the inspiration [way at the top of this post :)] photo?  Well, come on over to For Your Inspiration and play along!  We would love to see how the photo inspires you.

Thanks for stopping by~

Both are great cards! I love the way you 're-created' the windows on the first card. I like your sponging on the second!
