thinking of you.. old tuesday trigger

Hello, stampy friends! I hope you had a wonderful Easter. :) I'm back with a card that I made for a Tuesday Trigger challenge from a couple months ago, but just didn't photograph before the deadline. Here's the inspiration piece...


..mmmm, yummy! ;) And here's my card... what do you think?


I wanted to somehow incorporate kraft card stock, to get that little bit of light brown in, but I'm not sure what happened! LOL Anyway, I was obviously inspired by the color scheme, the angular aspects to the candies (matted sentiment), the doily (used a punch on the edge of the brown mat) and the little nonpareils (used pearls). I love the sentiments from this Hero Arts set (CL491 - Made With Love) because they're big and bold and can stand alone as the focal point on a card. Fun!



So how's your spring so far? I'm absolutely loving the gorgeous weather, but for the first time in my life I'm dealing with HORRIBLE allergies... yuck. :( Can't wait until that passes, meanwhile, I'll be buying stock in Kleenex. ;)

See you again soon!

The card is lovely (seriously, the colors are fabulous!) but it's too close to lunch & that yummy at the top keeps distracting me. ;-)
