Critter Sketch Challenge #16 - May Flower Basket

Good morning! Hope you all are enjoying the long weekend. Today I am marching in our local Memorial Day parade with my daughter who is in Brownies and it's supposed to be swelteringly hot today. UGH! Well, since today is Monday, I have a Critter Sketch challenge project to share with you. This week we have an inspiration and color challenge. The inspiration is to use flowers on your project and the color purple. So here is my project:



I made a small flower basket using a Bildmalarna image. Isn't she just too sweet? I picked up this stamp from Paper Jewels. She is called Mimosa on the Bench. My flowers are from Wild Orchids and I used the color purple on Mimosa's dress and the flowers that she is holding.

Here is a closeup:




Here is a side view:



Our sponsor for the whole month of May is Dustin Pike from Doodle Dragon Designs. He has some of the most cutest images out there. Follow the link and take a look at some of his designs.



I will enter this project at the following challenges:

Bildmalarna Challenge #10 - Father's Day (Who said you can't give a basket of flowers to your dad? Especially when he's got 2 daughters.) ;o)
Paper Cutz Challenge #43- gift for a teacher (this could be a gift for dad or a teacher.)
Paper Garden Projects - girly
Stampin' for the Weekend - Card/project to make someone smile or cheer them up.

Today will be my last post for Critter Sketch Challenges. With summer coming, I have decided to lighten my load for a few months. I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of this fun team. Thanks to Melanie for inviting me to be part of it. Well, thanks for visiting me today, have a great day!

New stamps are always being added but you gotta get them fast as they sell really quickly.
