Garden-Inspired Birthday

Hello, sparkly friends! Today I'm sharing a wee bit of inspiration on the Live & Love Crafts blog. This was also made for the new challenge at Deep Ocean Challenge, of which I am a few days late due to being unwell. Our theme there is Our Furry/Feathered Friends.

My mom's birthday is tomorrow and I'm celebrating with a garden-inspired card featuring Maja Design's Vintage Romance. ♥︎
A sweet Wycinanka Lacy Bird has flown in for the occasion, nestled within Wild Orchid Crafts blossoms. ♥︎ Walk With Me is probably my favorite pattern of the collection, which I have used for the center panel. The die cut frame is from Joy! Crafts Frame and Contents.
Although a tad difficult to see in my pictures, the bottom of my floral arrangement is accented with a Melissa Frances Appliqué resin corner. Layered Jamila and Coco trims adorn the left for pretty texture. Cheery Lynn Mini Fanciful Flourishes are tucked within my flowers.
Layered Cheery Lynn Two of Hearts are topped with more blossoming love, while Pion butterflies flutter throughout my little card.
My sentiment is from Pion's Scent of Lavender, chosen for its lovely shade of purple. I hope my mom likes it. ♥︎ Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a sparkly weekend. :o)

Sketch Challenge at Live & Love Crafts!

Happy June, sweet friends! I am happy to be back after an unexpected mini-break due to not feeling well. It's time for a fun new challenge at Live & Love Crafts and this time we're getting sketchy! Becky made a sketch for us to play with (posted below) and I hope you'll join in.

My card is for a bloggie friend in need of extra love and sunshine. ♥︎
The papers are from Pion Design's Easter Greetings and My Precious Daughter. (MPD has sadly been discontinued, so scoop them up soon if you want a little stash.) I want to surround my friend in love and pretty flowers. ♥︎
I used a few Wycinanka chippies, which have been embossed with Shabby Pink Frantage. A Rainforest Butterfly flutters within a Sweet Dreams 5 frame. I chose Create from the Make Art set for my sentiment to encourage her to keep creating through the pain. When the pain is too intense to craft, I pray she creates in her heart. ♥︎
The Shabby Pink Frantage is shiny and sparkly, which I didn't photograph very well. (Sad face.)
Soft pink Shabby Chic Tulle Trim rests beneath Lynette Lace and Sunflower Pearl Trim for extra layers of softness. My Tea Stain crinkle ribbon is from DL.Art, which I've centered with a Button Etoile embellishment. The card base was made with Go Kreate's Large Frame Frilly 7. I hope she likes it and feels my sparkly love. ♥︎

Here is the lovely sketch (and be sure to see how it inspired my talented teamies):
I dropped the middle rectangle down and used it for my layered trims, which resulted in me moving the smallest panel upward for my sentiment. Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a sparkly day. ♥︎
