The Paper Mixing Bowl ~SOAR~

It's that time of the month again.. what a fantastically beautiful recipe card we have for this month of April!!! It's Ambrosia Salad.  So perfect and full of spring's promise!
I love these soft beautiful colors. I sure hope you will join us this month and cook up something beautiful.

I also had the challenge in mind that is being hosted over at Berry71Bleu.
I love my flowers. They give me a sense of hope, peace and joy. I will be entering this lo for that challenge.


Here is my take on the recipe:

SOAR

Some Gesso...

Some of my ingredients were : gesso, flowers, butterflies, birds and torn paper.
My Whipped Cream I have spread in the upper left and right corners with a little gesso.

Spring's Promise ~ Scraps of Elegance ~ Feature

I am spotlighted this month at Scraps of Elegance. Here is their blog.

What a beautiful kit this month. I'm so excited. I altered a box for the first time. I love my little box.  It's a token I took home from a previous second job.. it's a cigarillo box. hahah  I used the Graphic 45 Secret Garden papers that came in this month's kit. Cathi O'Neil's white butterfly fits on top so beautifully.  I used a bit of my Prima flowers, Webster's Pages resin and some 3rd Eye's butterfly stamps. I stamped my butterflies on Delicate Aster by Heartfelt Creations. Here is the finished product with side views. :

PMB -If God Will Send His Angels

It's reveal time over at The Paper Mixing Bowl. How exciting is reveal day!!!

Here is our Sketch to follow:

Now my paper really is green but you can't tell it.  We were to Quote a U2 Song and I chose one of their song titles as my title.
Some of the utensils I used were : Gold, a wee photo, stamping with my 3rd Eye stamps, and I added some lace.
I used some more of my Heartfelt Creations paper from the paper pad called Delicate Aster. My son suggested I add some metal to the page and so  I raided my Scraps of Darkness Stash and got my metal out. All the supplies are from previous Scraps of Darkness Kits.
Here are some closesups:
