Sweet Stop Sketch #224

Here is this week's sketch over at the Sweet Stop:  notice the spin is Sunflowers!


There are some beautiful sunflower stamps around, and two gorgeous ones in the new release at Sweet 'n Sassy - check it out here - but for my card, I used a small stamp from the set Happy Harvest by Gina K, masking off the pot the flowers stood in.  I thought the proportion of this image suited the layout better.  I also used the grasses from the SnS set, Nature Silhouettes.   I cut out the image with Spellbinders curved rectangles die,  matted it on Kraft card and then on two more designer papers and a banner.  A natural button and jute twine over a mini tag completes the card.
Hop on over to the other Sugar Babies, to see what wonderful inspiration they have for you:

Cathy McCauley, Korin Sutherland, Ceal Pritchett, Marlena Peduzzi, Melissa Shultz, Robin Parker, Stephanie Serrano,   Cynthia Olheiser,Debbie Owens, and Jamie Moore.

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...
