Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge {and Vegas}

Hello and happy Monday!  I'm popping in to share my card for this week's PaperSmooches Sparks Challenge.  Check out the inspiration photo below.  I didn't go with the fun little image or the thought bubble, but rather picked up on the soft/subtle water color background.  You could go any which way with this inspiration photo! 
To made this card, I played along with several new PaperSmooches goodies.  Can you name them?  Well, don't worry and you don't need to name them!  I used two stamps sets:  Spiritual Sampler and Leafy Greens along with the fabulous new Loopy Leaf Die. I inked the loopy leaf stamp in several soft colors before stamping to create a watercolor feel without using water colors.
 
I hope you like the card and that you pop by and visit the other fabulous PaperSmooches Sparks design team members:
But, before I go, guess what?  I get to go to Vegas (for a quick trip!) because my team won a fabulous client service award.  I don't typically chat too much about my job, but I am so very proud of my team and am thrilled to accept the award on behalf of them!
