Apple Blossom.

This week I chose the beautiful apple blossom stamp of the Vintage Garden Flowers for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #123. The frame and the sentiment are both from the Vintage Garden Seed Packet stamp set. I put them on foam pads to give them a 3D effect. I stamped a few times the flowers on the border and added a vellum embossed chicken wire on it. I also added some lace, ribbons, twine and a pink button to finish it off.

Here's the great sketch created by Lenet Mos:

Love Grows Where You Plant It.

There's a new sketch challenge at Waltzingmouse. This week I chose many different stamp sets. The pink background is made with the Pic-Nic Patterns set and the woodgrain background is from the Way Out West set and it is embossed with white powder. Then I made a vellum doily with the Dainty Doilies 2 Small stamp set. I also made a beautiful vellum flower with the Camellia stamp set. The biggest tag is made with the Opera Tags Stamps set. The sentiment comes from the Vintage Garden Seed Packet. The cute little heart on the small tag is from the Make Your Mark stamp set. I stitched the edges, added some ribbons and twine and a few rhinestones!

I will also enter this card to the Shabby Tea Room challenge. The theme of this week #136 is Rustic Elegance. We are asked to create a card inspired by the colors in the photo and include something rustic and something elegant!
