A Welcome with Togetherness

It feels like so long since I have posted anything new that was non-Christmas related!
Last month I came across the Stamp Fairy blog and found so many darling images that I could not resist.  "Cute" is one area that is lacking in my stamp arsenal or at least that is how I justified picking up a few new digi images :>)   I went with one of the cute pea pods on today's card, using the Cosmo Cricket Togetherness paper which has patiently been sitting on my desk waiting for me to pick it up again.  I think I may have trouble putting it down - all that aqua paper is just making me so happy :>)


Lots of paper piecing on the pod...   

The Stamp Fairy challenge this week is a recipe - to use 2 PP, 3 embellies (lace, twine and buttons) + lots of colors.  I really wanted a 3rd PP, but didn't want to break the rules, so I created the text layer using a sentiment stamp.
This card uses sketch #83 from Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
There is also some embossing in there for this week's Tuesday Throwdown Challenge.
Plus, Paper Sundaes is looking for something new this week - that would be the image :>)
Smiles,
Julie
Details:  Image - Pea Pod (Stamp Fairy), Sentiments - Baby Button Bits (PTI), CS - SU and PTI, PP - Togetherness (Cosmo Cricket), buttons - PTI, Twine - Martha Stewart, Lace - Stash, and Embossing - Swiss Dots (Cuttlebug).
