Wishing You Bouquets of Joy!

*this is my second post today, so scroll down if you are looking for my Creative Inspirations post!

Good morning to everyone! It's Sunday and that means it's time for another Paper Sundaes Challenge...this week we are challenging you to use your Fall or Halloween colors and our fabulous sponsor is Simon Says Stamp! You could win a gift certificate to go shopping there, so head on over and check it out...you can find the challenge here! You'll want to check out the other Design Team members creations too - you're in for a treat!


As a matter of fact, you can find this adorable little Crafty Secrets stamp set at Simon Says Stamp...right here! It's called Bouquet of Joy and this sweet-faced little girl was so much fun to color...and what a bouquet! I used my copics to color these flowers in all the yummy Fall colors! Then I cut it out using my Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and Petite Scalloped Circles sets and mounted it to this perfect October Afternoon paper.

I just love the font they used for this sentiment too - it's so very vintage! It was cut out using my Spellbinders Fancy Tags and then attached to another piece of green cardstock cut with the same die. A little sparkle was added with some bling in the holes of this gorgeous coral colored lace! I finished it off with a couple of pearls and a matching satin ribbon!

I hope you'll join us this week over at Paper Sundaes!

If I had a flower...

Hello - I'm playing for the first time at the InStyle Stamps June Sketch Challenge. I'm also playing over at the Color Throwdown #98 and at Paper Sundaes Challenge #23 - Pretty as a Princess.

I used the InStyle stamp Ava Holding Balloons for this one...of course, she is now holding flowers because the sentiment from Unity Stamp's Inside & Out set gave me the inspiration to do so!
I love the colors they chose this week at the Color Throwdown...blush blossom, chocolate chip and mellow moss...one of my favorite color combinations! She is stamped with ColorBox Chestnut Roan and colored with copics!

I used my Spellbinders Labels One to cut her out and for the mat too - that's Basic Grey Eva paper on her skirt and as a mat. Behind all that is a piece of moss colored paper that has been embossed with the Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy embossing folder. The edges are all inked up with ColorBox Chestnut Roan and the sentiment was stamped with it too! Petaloo and Prima flowers became Ava's balloons and they are dotted with some Recollections pearls and a little bling. I glittered up her wings and finished it off with a little ribbon peeking from behind the sweet sentiment.

I hope you like it...thanks for stopping by!
