Whimsy sponsors A Spoonful of Sugar

Whoohoo! Whimsy Stamps is sponsoring A Spoonful of Sugar Challenge this week so Debbie asked us if we would like to be guest designers for this challenge!

The theme is

Easter!

A spoonful of sugar is very dear to me as I was a designer on there for the first few months after it was created so I always leap at the chance to be a guest for them!

I had this box of Lindt chocolate carrots and couldn't resist decorating it and thought the very sweet Whimsy Stamps 'Water Lily' would be perfect looking like she was watering them!

Water Lily is coloured with distress inks, I used Mustard Seed for her dress and hair and Weathered Wood for the watering can. I get the flesh colour by mixing Antique linen, Victorian velvet and even a touch of Mustard Seed! I used Peeled Paint on her wings and then stickles frosted lace over the top. I also used a touch of Tea Dye in places for shadows.

the gorgeous little easter sentiment stamp is also from Whimsy Stamps. It is included in a set called Whimsy Holiday Postmarks.

The pretty floral punch is Martha Stewart.

This little gift is going to be sent to a friend I know will really appreciate the chocolate, I am sure she will enjoy the package too ;)

I added glossy accents to the water spilling from the watering can so that I can enter
Saturday Spotlight ~ the theme is you're so slick!
