Pinterest Inspired One Layer Wednesday? PERFECT challenge, Cheryl! Very occasionally, I spend a few minutes looking at interesting things on Pinterest (um, well that's almost true if you change 'few' to 'many' and 'occasionally' to 'daily'!) .
There is so much inspiration there - and my inspiration board is full of great images that appeal to me, but this week I had a hard time finding one that I could translate into a one layer card. Until yesterday, when I found this:
I would definitely NOT want this on my nails (as soon as I put anything heavier than clear on my finger nails, they start to feel heavy and I have to take it off!) but what a fun, fresh and lively design for a card!
I used Stampin' Up's Pick a Petal and Trendy Trees (sentiment).
On another note, after increasingly frustrating computer issues (as in crashing every 5 minutes by the end), we spent about 2 hours on the phone to India with Dell Support to determine that my computer has Alzheimers (faulty memory). This was a lengthy, but interesting process with a man who was extremely helpful and nice. A technician will come this week to determine whether the internal memory stick(s) and/or the mother board have to be replaced (and we're assured he or she will have said parts with them when they come). In the meantime, I'm on my old computer with no photo editor so I can't say how reliable my posting and commenting will be this week. (Tomorrow's CASology post is already scheduled). I'll do my best, but if you don't hear from me, you'll know why!
Hi Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteOOOH!!! I love this... cool colors , just fab!
Oh Ardyth, I feel for you with your computer troubles ... I wish I could help you like you helped me last week! Good luck limping along until you're back at 100% strength again.
ReplyDeleteGreat one layer card here ... perfect place for the sentiment. Love that the flower is off the edge!
Lovely card so clean and fresh looking. Wasn't too keen on the nails though lol!
ReplyDeleteSnap!! I cannot wear nail varnish for that very same reason!!
ReplyDeleteLove your card, I always forget about that stamp set.... must give it a whirl again :0)

Perfect inspiration photo and brilliant interpretation of it :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Ardyth! Love the clean and crispness of your card!
ReplyDeleteOh no on the computer. That is so frustrating. Your card is beautiful...love the crisp colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card made from very pretty inspiration! The photo looks great, even without your editing prowess. ;-)
ReplyDeleteArdyth, I have sworn that I will never buy Dell ever again. My old Dell laptop was AWESOME and the customer service I received back when I had it was wonderful. Our two new desktops and our notebook have been no end of problems and the customer service from the second after we bought the machines to today has been abysmal. My computer alone is on it's third hard drive (thank God for back-up) and second power supply in less than two years of life.
Absolutely brilliant! Love the colours on your card. I couldn't be doing with nails like this either - they'd chip in no time ;)
ReplyDeleteI do hope your computer is sorted soon. Touch wood, all is well with my new PC - so, so much faster!
Your card made me long for Spring! I'm sure I heard a Robin singing the second I laid my eyes on this BEAUTIFUL card! Simply stunning! One of my absolute "Ardyth Favs"....and I have lots of those!
ReplyDeleteMust be computer typhoid season - ours heads in to the shop tomorrow morning - for a good old cleanin' and a dustin' and a memory boost. They really should have this service for those of us who are over 50!
So sorry about your computer problems, Ardyth. Hope it's on the mend!
ReplyDeleteLove your card. Such fun colors and so Springy. I appreciate you playing along this week.
I LOVE this ... it's talking to me ... fresh, bright, fun, happy, smiling, spring-like and totally gorgeous! If I'd got into Pinterest already, it'd be pinned!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for the computer ... fab things when they work!!

What a fun and happy card. I love how you turned those inspirational nails into a card.
ReplyDeleteYour card reminds me of the spirograph. What fun those were.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't wear those nails either Ardyth but they make fantastic inspiration for your card! Absolutely stunning! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Ardyth! Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your computer struggles, hope everything works out ok for you.
Terrific, inspired card! LOVE those springy, cheerful colors. Hope your computer issues will be resolved readily. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous interpretation, Ardyth! You "nailed" it, LOL! I hope your computer get well soon!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
