Sweet Debbie of The Shabby Tea Room made my day when she asked me to be a Guest Designer! EEK!! I LOVE the inspiration that comes from The Shabby Tea Room blog and from Debbie and her team.
Our inspiration this week, comes from this wonderful photo. I was tempted to use the mason jars as a focus but I decided to focus on the colours and the soft feel of the photo. The challenge is to use the inspiration photo and to create a card or project inspired by the photo using white/cream, aqua,
soft pink with lace and flowers.
I used a brand new floral set and punch from Stampin' Up called Flower Shop Bundle. I used this set to create my floral, which I stamped in Smoky Slate Ink (SU!) and then I added some pretty Stickles to the centre of the bloom.
The sentiments on the card and the pillow box are from SRM Stickers. My pillow box is also from SRM Stickers and I ran it through the embossing folder first. The lace is from my stash, finally have used it all up and the die cut leaf is a die I have in my kit but I cannot remember the brand. I love this die, it cuts so well.
I hope you will join in Shabby Tea Room Challenge #176 and play along this week!!! I am also linking this up to the current Paper Issues Challenge "Nature Walk".
