Hello all!! I can't believe today is only Friday. With Scott home today, it felt like Saturday. I am so glad it is not Easter yet though since my house and dinner plans are not ready yet. Our family will be blessed to have parents here for the weekend and my inlaws will be joining us on Sunday as well. Nicki and Meghan, my girls, are really looking forward to having them all here. Today I bought the groceries, tomorrow it is time to cook, cook, cook....

Today I would like to share two projects with you. The first is one that I made today for the OCCC Challenge (make an Easter Card),CAS09 (Keep in clean and simple but add distressing), and the LSC215 (incorporate 3 layers-not including the base, three focal points and three colors. My three colors are baja breeze, chocolate chip, and so saffron. My three focal points are the image panel, the ribbon, and the sentiment panel. I colored my Inkadinkado Hydrangea with prisma colors and gamsol. The sentiment is from the Cross of Christ set from Our Daily Bread Designs. The brown ribbon is American Crafts Glittered Ribbon. The blue ribbon is Dashes and Dots ribbon from Michaels. The shape of the card punched out with a mega curved rectangle nestie. I love this die!!! I used my favorite Parisian Breeze Specialty paper. The edges are paper pierced and distressed in Chocolate Chip ink. I dry embossed the back panel using the swiss dot folder.
Card Recipe-
Stamps- Inkadinkado- Hydrangea, Our Daily Bread Designs- Cross of Christ
Paper- Parisian Breeze DP, Chocolate Chip and White CS
Accessories- prisma color pencils, gamsol, nesties (classic oval scallop, mega curved rectangle, and both end tag), American Crafts brown ribbon, Dashes and Dots ribbon-blue, glitter, hodgepodge hardware
This second card is one that I made yesterday for the High Hope Challenge #25 sketch, WT213 (to use a label on your card) and Danni's Flutter By Wednesday (to use a butterfly or fairy on your card). I used a fairy from High Hopes. It is just such a cute image. My friend, Michelle, sent it to me. Thanks Michelle. I colored it with copics. The paper is from My Mind's Eye. I stiched this one and added hemp and three buttons. My label is stuck to the SU tab punchout.
CARD RECIPE
Stamps- High Hopes Fairy
Paper- My Mind's Eye, green galore, white, and garden green CS
Accessories-Buttons, MS 5 leaf punch, MS border punch, glitter (for the wings)
Thanks for Looking and for all your wonderful comments!!! I hope you all have a Very Happy Easter!!
