Tuesday Trigger : Sweet on Spring

Oh my! This weeks Tuesday Trigger is just so full of fun that I almost didn't know where to start! I played around a bit with the colours and then decided to take the trigger quite literally. I was going to try to copy the whole layout but that proved to be too busy looking so I settled on just doing the top row. :-)
Here is the trigger



and here is my card


The first box is a piece of Memory Box paper with pencils from Just a Note (Hero Arts). I wanted the pencils to be a little bit shorter so I cut off the eraser and then cut out some of the pencil. When I had the length that I wanted,I glued the erasers back on.


The second box is Basic Grey paper and a tissue paper flower. Thank you Teri Anderson for the idea! I cut the tissue paper with my Nestabilities before crumpling them because I found that it gave a more uniform look.


The third box is also Basic Grey paper and the cake/stand is a Silhouette die cut. After cutting out the cake I popped it with foam tape and then covered the pieces in Stickles.


The last box is a retired Hero Arts stamp (F3833 Vertical Stripes Background) stamped on cream cardstock with Baby Blue VersaColor. The jar of cookies is a sticker by Jolee's.


To get the outside border even, I drew a box in pencil on the inside of the card and then stitched around it with my unthreaded sewing machine.



Thank you for stopping by today!
