Nicole provided us with this beautiful inspiration photo for this month's March PTI blog hop.
First, it made me hungry, and I had to track down a bunch of candy. That out of the way, I pulled a few ideas from this photo: yellow, aqua mist, sweets, polka dots, stripes, ribbon.
This is how I turned those ideas into a card.
Pretend the buttons are candy. Pretend you can see the embossed stripes made with my SU striped embossing folder on the yellow and white polka dotted paper. (Thanks)
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Friendship Jar, Polka Dot Basics, Mixed Messages
Paper: Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist Patterns, White
Other: Friendship Jar, Tiny Tags, Mega Mat Stack 1 Dies, SU Striped Embossing Folder, Aqua Mist twill ribbon, Lemon Tart & Aqua Mist buttons
Thanks for Visiting

Awesome card. I love how you have the jar in the negative space of the mat stack. That is very creative along with the button candy. Believe it or not I do see the embossed stripes. (That's good for me: an old lady with bad eyes) haha.
