Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge - May 2016

Welcome to the May Inspiration Challenge over at Paper Sweeties!  I was so excited when I saw this one because it's full of my favorite colors which is what I drew my inspiration from .. as well as the pretty flowers on the cute little tea set.
 

 
And here is the project I made using this inspiration:
 
 
As I was flipping through my stamp sets ... thinking I'd probably use the coffee/tea set that have been been staring at me, I came across this lovely Showering You With Love stamp set  and coordinating Sweet Cuts and I knew right away it's what I would use.  Gardening is another one of my loves and although I don't see much rain where I live here in Arizona, when I lived back in Western New York this was my outfit for a good part of my growing season.

  The heart behind all of this is a leftover from another project ... I cut out the heart doily from the With Love Sweet Cuts and this is the center piece that I ran through my Big Shot.  This is another one of my favorite dies... I mean... what project can't use a pretty heart or two...
 
 
Nothing like pulling on a pretty pair of mud boots (I added flower petals to some of my polka dots to change it up a bit on my boots here) and grabbing an umbrella to go out and pick weeds, or watch while the fish in the pond try to eat the "food" you're throwing them (but it's really just raindrops falling on the water), and if the rain stopped long enough, grabbing the camera and getting some beautiful pictures of the droplets on the flower petals.
 
 
Love all the patterns on these stamps from the Showering You With Love set and that cute little sentiment.  Of course I had to make more vellum flowers from last month's release Hello Spring.  And hmmm... wonder where those cute little glittery hearts came from? 

 
This is what you call a sneak peek right here!  OH.. and of COURSE I added some of the lovely Paper Sweeties flower shaped cup sequins in Marshmallow!
 
Thanks for stopping and don't forget to check out all of the great creations my fellow Design Team members have concocted for you!

I'm always amazed with how many textures you get in your cards,and so much detail...beautiful. Think I have that doily too and I was going to do a very similar card to this one, but now I'd look like a copy-cat :) Just me, Mom.
