TSTR111 ~ April Flowers ~ Guestie Week 4!

Happy Monday to you! Welcome to another fabulous week in the Tea Room. If you are looking for this week's Exploring Cricut post click HERE.

There are very few things I enjoy as much as receiving flowers and in particular roses! I love their delicate petals, wonderful aroma and lush color. I have to admit I don't like the thorns! lol...

This week create a card or project inspired by the COLORS featured in the inspiration photo and USE LACE or RIBBON and FLOWERS!

So on to this week's inspiration photo...


And my interpretation...


Can you say fun? The base is a lovely peach colored card stock upon which I added a layer of distressed/embossed white card stock. My DP panels have touches of peach, yellow, pink, mint green and purple... so lush! I added two types of lace on this project. Tucked under the bottom DP panel you will see a layer of mint green and white lace. The sentiment panel (stamp by Our Daily Bread Designs) is nestled behind a plethora of flowers and greenery. The vine is a die from Cheery Lynn Designs and the multitude of flowers are from my stash! I was a LITTLE nervous about mixing all these colors but I have to admit I LIKE it! Thanks as always for stopping by and don't forget to stop in again this week. I have a few Cricut posts along with some fun challenges at Our Daily Bread Designs. And next Monday will be my LAST guest spot with The Shabby Tea Room... sniff... Sniff...

Until next time... blessings...
