Hello

 

Happy Easter Morning. I hope all of you had a blessed holiday if you celebrate. The DH and I kept a low profile. Just a nice dinner. 

 
Today starts a new challenge at Cupcake Inspirations. A bright color challenge of orchid, lime and yellow.

We are being sponsored by -





                                                 Prize: $10 Credit to the shop
 

 The "hello" black sentiment on my card was colored over with a black glaze pen. This gave the sentiment impact and a bit of depth and shine.


I must confess when I first made this card for the challenge, I forgot to look at what the challenge was and made the card with totally different colors.

Seas the day

Good morning everyone! Hope you are doing well and spending lots of time crafting! I have been a crafting fool since I quit my job.

Today starts a new challenge at Inky Paws. Today we have an interesting sketch. I cannot wait to see how all of you interpret this sketch. I gotta say this one was tough for me and I went quite literally.


My card today features the "Seashell Roundabout" from Newton's Nook.  I kept my card very CAS and lots of pristine white space.

 
 
Musical inspiration is from Mr. Bobby Darin. This song is a favorite of mine!

Bunny Hop

 

Time to start thinking about your spring and Easter cards. You have two weeks until Easter. Hopefully, you have already started on them.

 

If you haven't, Cupcake Inspirations has a challenge to get you started. We are looking for you to use bunnies in your creations and jump-start your Easter card making.

Cupcake Inspirations are teaming up with Double Trouble Challenge for this Bunny challenge.
Have fun and link your projects up to us both!


 

 My card today features a fun set from The Greetery- "Bunny Hop" stamp and stencil set and the center bunny is a no longer available stamp from Papertrey Ink. To add some interest I added the blue dots on the background.

To get you in a "bunny" mood here is the Tinseltown Payers sing "Bunny Hop"!



You have two weeks to hop along to our "bunny" challenge at Cupcake Inspirations!
