Sparks are flyin'!

Hey guys!
It was sooooo nice to get out today and spend some time in the sun with my hubby. Brunch on the patio at our favourite pub, walked the dog, and used up some gift cards leftover from our wedding. (that was 2 years ago!!)

All in all a great day!
But I am here to share a card with you, not babble about my day. :)

This card was made with this month's Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge
 in mind.
(click the banner above to get all the details)
Based on this inspiration photo:
There is so much to love and be inspired by in this photo. I loved the colour combo, the wood, the bling, the flowers.
So all were somehow incorporated into my card.
The silver (inspired by the bling) was "letterpressed" onto white cardstock using PTI's woodgrain impression plate. The pearls were coloured to match the pink twine. The flowers, sentiment and polka dot border are all Paper Smooches stamps. I had fun with this one.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. :)
