Paper Sweeties Inspiration #18 – ‘Sweet Treats’:

We have this delicious photo and gorgeous color palette to be inspired by this month – isn’t it dreamy??

I began with a base of cardstock and patterned paper onto which I layered a springtime tree branch die cut using the Thanks Snow Much Sweet Cuts set and ‘blooming’ with pretty Robin Egg iridescent sequin flowers – so beautiful and sparkly IRL!  Next I created a sentiment banner using the Banner Wishes and Home Tweet Home stamp sets!

To finish my design, I created a sweet little bird house, nest and blue bird stamped using the Sending Springtime stamp set and perched all the images on top of a Robin Egg Paper Straw.  I added another Robin Egg sequin for the little bird house door.  Last, I layered a die cut fence and then some grass I created using the Thanks Snow Much Sweet Cuts die.

I’m sending this card to my very good friend’s son and his fiance who just moved into a new apartment together … just a little happy mail to help celebrate their ‘new nest’!!
