I am always surprised at the number of challenges that I come across as I wander around the papercrafting world on the internet. Everyday it seems a new one is popping up. A new to me challenge blog that I came across recently is the EstyInspired challenge blog. I found it to be very intriguing and thought I would give it a try. The Etsy shop that we are to seek our inspiration from is Becky Kazana's shop... full of all kinds of whimsical cake toppers, banners and cards. For my inspiration I chose her cute little bee hive cake topper. Of course when I saw the bee hive topper I immediately thought of the completely cute Hero Arts set Be Happy. And to provide some furtehr inspiration I decided to use the current Mojo Monday sketch. Add some PTI cardstock, BasicGrey Origins pp, a few punches and I was done.
The Etsy Inspired challenge blog will be celebrating their 100th challenge on August 7th and have a some lovely prizes... If you haven't given them a try yet, this might be a good time to do so. I know I will be.
Thanks for taking a peek... have a lovely day.
