A Perky Plant

Hello friends!  I can't believe it's Thursday already!  I only have one week left of my summer vacation before I go back to work!  My new classroom is all set for my new kiddos and I'm a little unsettled about this whole move of our 5th graders to the Middle School.  But I have to make the best of it!  On to my card.

Yesterday was my aunt's birthday and of course a card did not get in the mail!  I have been making mostly birthday cards, so it's not like I didn't have one ready to mail....I just didn't get one mailed.  I did call her and wish her a happy birthday so she knew I was thinking of her.  So as I sat down last night to make something, I thought I'd make her a new card...something just for her.  I started by straightening out my "new" stamps that had not been put away and I forgot about this quirky little set from Paper Smooches that just makes me smile.

This set is called Perky Plants (such a great name for this set!) and the sentiment is from Sentiment Sampler, also from Paper Smooches.  I wanted to use some vibrant colors, so I went with Lauderdale paper pack from Basic Grey and Lucky Limeade and Melon Mambo cardstocks from SU.  I colored the image with copics and added some Star Dust Stickles to mimic water sprinkling out of the watering can.  I made the main image a tag and used some PTI ribbon to tie it off.  I added the two melon glitter dots to finish off the card, which follows the Sweet Sunday Sketch for this week.  I cannot believe I finally got a card done in time for this challenge!  I'm usually late using them!

Hope you enjoyed this cute little card!  I just adore it and I hope it makes my aunt smile when she gets it!  Thanks for stopping by!
