12*12 Layout - "Sweet Things"

Hiii.. 

It's been raining today and the weather seems to be back to cold and windy by evening. However, summers are showing well.. lots of sunshine, lots of outdoors for kids.. summers are fun here.
Back to my project this weekend, it had to be something my favorite.. oh my.. the list is huge.. but I chose "sweet things/desserts" as a theme for my layout. Often I start my day with some bit of chocolate or a piece of cake. Without desserts, my meal is incomplete. 

I had a great time designing this one, played with bold vibrant colors. I have used paper from 7 dots studio Writer's Block - Sincerely. Love this collection!!  

To prepare my base, I did some stenciling and stamping followed by distress spray stain and cosmic shimmer mist. I used a lot of paper flowers and other paper elements from my stash and some from Kaisercraft wildflower collectibles. Added Some other wooden embellishments and art pebbles. I colored the wooden letter "sweet" with finnabair art alchemy metallic paint in "antique copper" and also applied it at some places for highlights. I just wanted to stuck to my choco-strawberry theme and hence the use of brown and red. Also added some micro beads as final touch. Here are some more detailed pictures.. 

 With this Layout, I enter to:
