Hello friends!!! Welcome back to my little Blog corner of Blogland! :)
Today I'm sharing some fun cards. As most of you know, I have 4 kids and they all play Soccer! Sooo, as the Spring Season is coming to an end, we were going to need a few Soccer themed *Thank You* cards for their great Coaches. I needed to find my M.I.A. Mojo, aka: {find some inspiration}, so I turned to SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS.com to inspire me with their SCS Inspirational Challenge #IC287.
We were to take inspiration from this fab Artistic site called: {Daniel Maher Stained Glass Studio}. I let the beautiful artwork on their site guide me with fun inspiration. :)
***CARD ONE ***
This first one was inspired by this *Day Lily* Medallion Window:
