From the Garden with TSTR and PPC


Welcome back for another fabulous week at The Shabby Tea Room and Picture Perfect Creations.  Awhile ago, I found this AMAZING wreath at Blooming Couture and HAD to use it as the inspiration photo for this week's TSTR challenge: "From the Garden."  Use the colors, flowers, the shapes... whatever inspires you.


This week's sponsor in the Tea Room is Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Stamps and you will LOVE their selection of amazing digi stamps as well as some clear stamps. 



I originally thought I would use the colors in the wreath for my card but once I saw this week's Picture Perfect Creations combo, I decided to give it a try and see what I could do with them:


I will admit that the Cajun Craze threw me off a bit but, in the end, it was the Regal Rose that I had trouble with and used it very sparingly on the bows and as a button flower:


Recipe - Stamp: Precious Baby (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps)  Paper: Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Rich Razzleberry, Cajun Craze, SU! DSP  Accessories: Copics, paper piercer, RR polka dot grosgrain ribbon, buttons, Swiss Dots EF


Make sure you stop by and see what the rest of the Shabby Girls created for the "From the Garden" challenge...

I am amazed at how quickly the summer is going - the middle of July already?  I hope you are enjoying your summer wherever you are!  See you next week!

Lovely card, Melissa! You did a fabulous job with that color combo and I adore your coloring job on that fun digi stamp. The ribbon treatment is awesome and I really like your button flowers, too.
