I Spy With My Little Eye: A Sweet Treat or Warm and Sunny Colors (Challenges 4 and 5 Combined)

Hello everyone! Pauline and I are back again with a new "I spy with my little eye" challenge taking place right here on my blog!

Before I get to the new theme I wanted to mention that this is a "double challenge" to cover part of the Summer so it is for challenges #4 and #5 combined. The linky tool will remain open until August 13th and a new theme will then start on August 16th!

We had some fabulous entries in the last challenge so be sure to scroll down to the end to see if your entry made one of our top 2! Remember, the top picks are invited to join us as guest designers in a future challenge!

So here are our themes for challenges 4 and 5. Choose one or the other or even combine.

My card (Ellie)

following the "Sweet Treat" theme

Can you spy the sweet treat?? 

This cute stamp is a Mo Manning stamp for Penny Black - Oh My Goodness. I thought it was perfect for the theme.  Stamped on Bristol Vellum paper and I colored with Stampin Up and Distress Inks and I used one of my most used stencils - Feather Leaf by Lavinia on the background. Sentiment on the tag is an oldie from Whimsy Stamps. I used a tag die (options) to cut it out and tied it onto the card using natural jute twine. Another stencil (classy stripes) was used on the top pink border with the same coral Stampin Up ink. I added another small sentiment which is part of a Colorado Craft Company stamp set. A corner rounder was used to complete the card.
