EtsyInspired #42 - TonyCarlisle

Happy Saturday my fine peeps! It's another EtsyInspired day and have I got a surprise for you. Yup, you got it - no ladybug creations from me! Okay, well, maybe a picture, because today we are featuring tonycarlisle, an actual photo gallery. Let me tell you, these are some truly beautiful photographs at ridiculously reasonable prices.

First I have a card. I used this photo of a bike trail as inspiration. The card isn't my usual style, but I wanted to try something a little different. I think it worked. I hope you like it.


My other little project came from this photo of a boat. I don't have any boat stamps, so it took me a little while to decide what to do - and then I got obsessed with origami boats. I really wanted to make an origami boat box, but I couldn't figure out how to do it and I couldn't find instructions anywhere, so although I made several types of boxes, the boat box never came to fruition. I did, however, make a boat envelope, a boat with it's own stand and a sampan boat. Two sampan boats. The kitten absconded with the first one and we still haven't found it!Here's a closeup of the Sampan boat, just because I think it's neat. This is the second one I've made. Ever. I found directions on YouTube while I was searching for instructions on the boat box.
Before I go, I want to thank Ashley, Kerry, De and everyone else for letting me be a part of the team this month. Love you guys!!
