Flourishes has a challenge entitled "Home Sweet Home"; we're to choose something in our home that inspires us and base our card on that item. I was inspired by this pretty little creamer that was my Aunt's. It's not old, but she loved pastels just like me, and it was part of her tableware. She and my uncle had no children of their own, and so they made all of their nieces and nephews feel very special. She was known for her baking, and we always came away from her home with something sweet from her kitchen. And she was just as sweet herself. This little creamer is a lovely remembrance of her, and I plan to keep it filled with little bouquets from the garden.
I used the Flourishes stamp set Lenten Rose to make my card, using the softest colors I could find:
That is such a sweet card. So pretty and soft, I love the colors you used, and the sentiment is lovely...and very true.
