Morning Peeps! Check out the new sketch from The Sweet Stop, SSS123:
... and this is what I came up with:
Recipe: Aviary, Word Play, and French Script stamps (SU!)... Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake, and Peach Parfait card stock (SU!)... Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, and Calypso Coral classic ink pads (SU!)... Scallop Eyelet border punch (SU!)... Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder (SU!)... white paint, silver rhinestones, Baker's Twine, white seam binding ribbon, up-cycled card box... Spritzer Tool and Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker (SU!)... leaf punch (Martha Stewart)...
I goofed it up and used the wrong colored card stock across the card. For some reason, I thought it was the same as the color I used for the flower... I only noticed the difference when I was taking the picture... oops!
Challenges: SSS 123... The Shabby Tea Room #76...
Make sure you check out what the Sugar Babies came up with: Cathy McCauley, Janice Melton, Kim O'Connell, Shannon White, Shelby Goolsby, and Wendy Ramlakhan (taking a break this week).
Thanks for visiting! Enjoy your weekend!

What a "goof up"! You shouldn't have told us ... because I just thought you deliberately used a couple of shades on purpose! Hugs xxaxx

What a pretty scene you've created here! I just love that distressed, painted corrugated frame and even though the flowers and DP don't match, they work perfectly together and just add more interest to this gorgeous creation! I love it!!

A beautiful card Monika. I love distressing that you did and the way that you framed the bird cage. The colors are so pretty together.
Stay safe.
