Easter Wishes

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made combining the Sketch Challenge and Color Challenge on SplitCoast.

The dessert option on the color challenge was to make an Easter card. I decided to pull out an old but favorite set called "A New Little Someone" and use the bunny for an Easter card.

I stamped the bunny onto some rustic white card stock and colored qith my aqua painter and ink pads. I used Sahara Sand, So Saffron and Baja Breeze all on the main image. The bunny was colored with the Sahara Sand and then I used So Saffron on the bow and pads and inside the ears a bit.

I then used some Baja around the outer edge of the Bunny.

The main image is matted with So Saffron and then the angled piece behind that is Sahara Sand card stock.

The DSP is from the Sweet sorbet pack.

The sentiment comes from the Abundant Hope stamp set.

Dynamic Duos...Birthday Wishes

Happy Saturday Peeps.

Time for a new color challenge at the Dynamic Duos Blog

I pulled out my much loved but retired Stampin Up set called "Abundant Hope". I love these daffodils, they say spring to me and so do these colors.

I decided to make a Birthday card using these flowers instead of the usual Easter card that I have made in the past.

The DSP I used is from the Floral District paper pack.

I added a embossed garden green flag and then a small strip of embossed daffodil delight and then some pearls for my final touches.

The flowers are stamped twice and colored with my aqua painter and ink pads. I cut out and added the flowers to the main image with a few dimensionals. 

The rest of the Dynamo Design Team have some wonderful examples with these colors so be sure and hop on over to Dynamic Duos Blog for some great inspiration!!

OCC....In Your Easter Bonnet

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

It is time for another new challenge over at Our Creative Corner.

This week our hostess is the fabulous Marcy Kimiski.
Here is her challenge for us:

"In Your Easter Bonnet" challenge for you this week, 
is to design a card/project that is inspired by a frilly Easter bonnet.  
Use elements that you would put onto your own bonnet, such as lace, flowers, pearls, etc. 


I pulled out a retired  Stampin Up set, that I love,  called "Abundant Hope". You all know I love to watercolor and these daffodils are so pretty, I used daffodil delight and a bit of pumpkin pie for the flower heads, the leaves are colored with wild wasabi.
I stamped the flower images again on another piece of card stock and colored and cut out and added to the image with some dimesionals.
My "Easter Bonnet" elements are the lace doily, daffodil ribbon and the pretty pearls.

Be sure to check the Our Creative Corner Blog 

to see what the rest of the design team came up with for this fun challenge. 

I hope you can find some time to play along and if you do, don't forget to link it up over on the Our Creative Corner Blog so we can all see it!

SSSC108...Birthday

GOOD MORNING PEEPS!!! It's Sunday which means it is time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Sample

This is the fabulous sketch Karen has for us this week:




I flipped the sketch to fit the image I wanted to use. Spring is definitely here in Southwest MO, we can still have some cool temps, but my daffodils are up and blooming a sure sign to me that spring is here. I LOVE daffodils, so I had to pull out this retired stamp from Stampin' Up, Abundant Hope. I stamped the flowers onto some White card stock with some Momento tuxedo black ink and colored them in with my copics. I like the traditional daffodils but my favorite are the ones with orange centers and also the ones with the pink centers. So I colored these to mimic some growing in my yard right now.

The base of y card is made with Crumb Cake and then I followed that with some pumpkin pie and then the DS paper is from the SAB Ice Cream Parlor paper pack. I then used my circle cutter to cut a 4-1/2 inch circle of crumb cake. I embossed this with two different EF. I used the Vintage Wall and the Square Lattice Embossing folders. I added the pumpkin pie satin ribbon for the circle element on the sketch. I added a button threaded with some twine to the bow. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. I added some silver pearls to the corners and called it done!
