I asked Go-to Gal Betsy Veldman to choose the one card in Card Creations, Volume 8 that inspired her the most and then create her own card based on something she found to be moxie inspiring.
Out of all 273 cards in the issue, she chose this Embellished Birthday Wishes Card by Jessica Witty found on page 41:
Betsy says: There are so many things to love about this card, that I don't even know where to begin! First off, I love the colors...that soft yellow just makes everything pop! And then there are those little stamped doilies...proof to me that one little stamp can make a BIG impact! Then let's talk about her design -- I love the layout of the card and the delicious goodies she placed in each square.
So, I put a few of these yummy details of hers to work on my card:
I took a single square medallion stamp and stamped it repeatedly in a grid pattern. Then I filled each square with goodies. I thought this would be a perfect way to use some of those tiny little pieces I like to call "filler goodies"....you know...those little pieces that you get when you buy a sheet of stickers, rub-ons, or chipboard that just seem to fill up the spaces between the bigger pieces? They're not much on their own, but when grouped together and showcased like this, they make a BIG impact! This is a great way to use them up! Thanks for the inspiration, Jess!
Don't you just l-o-v-e what Besty has done with Jessica's card? Can't you imagine about 60 different ways to go on this? I can't wait to see--so start a-loadin'!

I meant to keep my card clean and simple but got more and more carried away. Maybe I'll try another with a more minimalist approach.
