The Shabby Tea Room #209 - spring flowers

Hi everyone and welcome to another fun challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room!! This week we have such a beautiful inspiration picture....

Told ya...it's gorgeous isn't it?? Here's the rules for this week:

• use baby blue
• use spring flowers
• include birds

Our sponsor this week is The Cutting Cafe

Ready to see what I made? I went a little on the cutsie / whimsy side with my take on this weeks challenge...

I started out using the little printable from The Cutting Cafe called "Wheelbarrow Deliveries". This printable is actually a little set...it not only comes with the wheelbarrow and grass but comes as a plain wheelbarrow in a cut file, lots of goodies to fill it with like easter eggs, flowers, presents, hearts, leaves, stars, pumpkins, apples etc and even a bunch of sentiments too! What a perfect little all year round image...I'll be getting a TON of use out of this one little image!

 I couldn't help but add a few little DeNami touches in there along with the darling little wheelbarrow, can you spot them?? I paired up the brand new sentiment, Hope Blooms, with that little cutie pie little Single Tweety and a retired single birdhouse stamp. You can easily use the still available Birdhouse Trio stamp and fussy cut just one of the houses if you wanted.

That's it for me today...hope y'all have a wonderful day!!

Birdhouse Love

I just love this bird house stamp. Why on earth did it take me so long to buy it?!




I used ink and sponges to color white card stock for the sky. I also fussy cut the clouds and the birdhouses....add the little sentiment and throw in a little lady bug and....voila!

Stamps used in this card: PF26 Assorted Greeting Petit Four, E137 Small Cloud, D85 Birds, P54 Birdhouse Trio, A94 Mini Heart, A96 LadyBug

for my Aunt

For a couple of months now one of my Aunts has been VERY sick...she's had pneumonia with a undetermined fungus growing on her lungs and has been in an induced coma so that the doctors could treat her. She's doing well today and is awake, alert and breathing on her own thanks to prayers, doctors and modern medicine. She's been moved to a rehab center and still has a long road ahead after being bed ridden for so long, but is alive and feeling better and that's all that matters. I wanted to make her a cheery card to make her smile....

I embossed the sentiment so it would pop since I had so much other stuff going on. I colored everything in then added magenta, citrone, amethyst and gamma green glitters in the respective places.

Somedays I think I need me a glitter intervention ;)  They do have a 12 step program for that don't they??? :/
