One little SPARK

Did someone say "challenge"?

                             

That is what Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge is about. It is something like a sketch, meant to give you a launching place for inspiration on creating a card or project. 

 

 Is this the cutest little photo ever? (details on what it is and where it is from are available at Paper Smooches)

 Here is my card using this "Spark" piece. 

The first thing that I noticed was the green, faded background so I created that by rubbing the edges of my white cardstock with a blending tool and a green stamp pad. 

I created a little "ruffle" edge with some stamped flowers.  I just stamped the flower a few times and colored the petals the same as my main flower and then cut them so that just the petals showed looking similar to a ruffle.

I also loved the little tag hanging from the string and the clothespin accent. I punched out a tag shape from patterned paper, stamped the sentiment on the tag and then let it hang on my card with some green embroidery floss and a tiny, green clothespin. 

I thought that this one little flower sitting all by itself on the side of my card looked a bit like that one cute little onesie.  The pinks helped me stay with the color combo and the little rhinestone made it even more girly!
