A Fingernail Art Inspired Card

We can be inspired by anything! I would never have guessed that fingernails could have inspired me to make a card, but that Shirley found the most inspiring fingernails for the newest MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge (#37 - Fingernail Art):


Since I am an Auburn Fan (and an Alabama Fan too but there were no Elephants in these pictures Benzi), I chose the tiger nails!


I used the Natures Brushstrokes and Lots of Words sets from Marks Finest Papers. My bg(s) on the image panel and butterfly were colored using chalk. I glittered up the butterfly using Sparkle n Sprinkle glitter and SU! Dazzling Diamonds. Papers are SU! and SEI.

Come join in the fun - there is a great prize and you have to admit these fingernails are pretty inspiring!

Hugz!

    Hey, what do you mean you used tiger nails?????? Elephants have nails, too. Oh, I guess you're forgiven as you do live closer to Auburn. LOL
    What a fabulous card you made with your inspiration. It is over the top gorgeous. Wow! Love that 'fly.

    Did you use your "Pebbles" chalk? This is so pretty. The colors are vibrant and in line with the festive feel of fall. The butterfly is truly amazing. Gorgeous card my friend.
