Good morning, everyone!! I bet you have been wondering where I've been!! We have had five Grandchildren with us this week and to top that off my DD Holly had surgery on Wednesday and both my parents were under the weather. Needless to say, we have been running all week!!! Today we are having our August family birthday party so I better get on the stick and get the cake made!! Everyone will go home tonight so maybe I can get a little blurfing done!!!!
I had a few minutes last night to put this together for the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast.
Stef picked a great site this week called Bellacor. This site is full of the most gorgeous vases and I picked the Ora vase as the inspiration for my card. I loved the combination of soft peachy color with the metal.
The Lockhart Rose Cupcake was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. The metal brads and flowers are from Flourishes and I used my new Spellbinders scalloped edge for a touch of elegance.
My DD Holly gave me this Papertrey image ....she had applied the Flower Soft and colored the leaves then handed it to me and asked me to finish it. I colored the picnic basket, layered it on the Nesties Blossom cutouts, added the ribbon and pearls, and taa daa!!
I'll give this to her later today for a little *just because* gift. She is still recovering so won't be at the party today.
