Hi all- I hope you are prepared for some inspiration from the Center Stage Alumni team again. I am happy to be hosting this month! If you came from KAY's blog, you are in the right place. If you'd like to start at the beginning, click HERE.
Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (February 14), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps!
Here is the photo I have chosen for the inspiration. HERE is where I found it. I love all the colors, shapes and shadows- ah, so much to be inspired by and I can't wait to see what the other ladies have come up with.
This is the card I came up with, using the bird cage and flowers from Gina's "True Love" kit.
I die cut the window with a really old Spellbinders die. I sponged Tea Dye Distress ink on all the edges. The leaves and little branches were punched.
