Etsy Inspired Challenge #71 - Love You Forever

Good morning! I hope you're having a great Saturday! :) Today's card was created for this week's EtsyInspired Challenge.

The Etsy store we're using as inspiration this week is Amethyst Soap. The soaps offered in this store are *gorgeous*... I picked the turquoise soap below as my inspiration piece, and wanted to use the colors and round angles of the soap on my card.

This week, I decided to make a little somethin' somethin' for my daughter to put up on her memo board in her room. LOL, she's only 4, so she isn't reading yet, but she'll appreciate it being "sparkly." :) To create the background, I used the Small Hearts Background image from the Cutting Cafe, and colored it in using Photoshop Elements (picking up the colors directly from the soap photo).

To be entered for a chance to win this week's prize, all you have to do is create a card using one of the items from the Amethyst Soap shop as inspiration, and link back to the EtsyInspired blog by Friday, January 22nd. (Please click the EtsyInspired link for more info.)

Instructions

• Cut a 3 3/4" circle from patterned paper, and color in the background (or print the colored background with your printer, and then cut out the circle).
• Cut a 4" circle from black CS, and distress the edges before adhering the patterned paper on top.
• Apply Scor-Tape to the back of the black CS circle, then ruffle ribbon around the edges.
• Print image background for sentiment, and stamp sentiment in black ink before cutting out.
• Adhere aqua pearls to background, attach sentiment layer and embellish background with rhinestones.
