Challenge: Design Team Inspiration

Hello folks and welcome to a brand shiny new challenge here on the A Passion for Papertrey Blog.  It was fun to have an anything goes challenge last time and we enjoyed a record number of entries too.

Our new challenge for the next fortnight is to find a card or project created by one of the amazing Papertrey Ink DT members and let it inspire you to create something from it.  It doesn't have to a direct case of the card or project but we do want to see how it inspired you.  With such awesome talent to choose from I can't wait to see what gems you all come up with.

The hardest part about this challenge is picking just one talented lady to emulate - unles you want to try them all - no limit to how many times you enter!!!  I chose the queen of PTI herself, Nichole Heady.  She created this card back during the May 2011 release and I loved the simplicity of it.

And here is the card I was inspired to make:

{Recipe}

Stamps: Damask Designs, Butterfly Dreams
Card: White, Kraft
Ink: Versamark, Scarlet Jewel, Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Other: Black fineliner, Gems, Butterfly die

Over to Aimes:
The Papertrey Ink DT member I chose to be inspired by is Lisa Johnson. I've always been a fan of Lisa Johnson's work - in both her creations and the stamps sets she's designed!

After admiring her gallery, I finally decided upon this card as my inspiration point:

I know. I'm a sucker for green :)
And here's my card:

I kinda stuck to the layout and colours but just mixed up the stamp sets a bit (gave me the perfect excuse to ink up some new PTI stash *wink*)
