WW Easter Reminder

Sometimes I just like to try different things, I never know why I do them...I just do and this ATC is one of those times when I started with an idea of coloring the bunnies in Easter egg colors...but why I went with stripes in shades of gray/black and added glitter...I don't know, it just happened! LOL!

Hop on over to Wicked Wednesday and join us in this week's EASTER challenge, you have until late Tuesday night for a chance to win one of two adorable Michelle Perkett Studio images.

Bambini

Eeeee....I'm getting ready to walk out the door to take an 8 hour drive to see my sister and her family, it's been since last June since I've seen them and I'm super excited to get on the road. The main reason we're going is my nephew and his wife are expecting twins and the baby shower is this weekend...Eeeeeee, can it get any better than this?!!


This was one of my 1st attempts at making a card with multiple frames...it was a lot of fun and not nearly as easy choosing colors and frames as I thought it would be. The baby is from A Day for Daisies....if you haven't had the opportunity to check out the ADFD digi shop, click HERE and be prepared to spend some time being amazed!

I'm not entering this in any challenges, just posting it. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, it's always fun to read the wonderful comments that everyone leaves.

Cowgirl Motto

YeeHaw...I was able to use quite a few of my older supplies with this card! Like a 99cent CB Horseshoe die, the DP from 5+ years ago, the alpha stickers, the bandana paper...even Cheecky Shooter could be considered "retro"!

I tried really hard to make the alpha stickers stand out because I love that they look like rope, but in this picture you can't really tell...you can see them much better in person.

Challenges:
The Kraft Journal - Western Flair
TGF: Monday Fun Day - #26 Anything Goes

Wicked Wednesday Easter ATC

This adorable bunny is called Harvey the Easter Bunny by Michelle Perkett Studio and you have the chance to win him by participating in this week's Wicked Wednesday EASTER challenge.

After masking the image I stamped over it with Momento ink and a Harlequins background stamp, then sprayed the ATC with LSG Scintillating Silver Glitz Spritz. You would think I'd know by now that printer ink will bleed when it gets wet, but noooooooo....I keep trying it week after week after week! After the cardstock dried I outlined the smeared parts with my fine tip black marker and added some Viva Paper Pen pearls. The image was colored with Copics and in my usual fashion, glitter was added to the hat, collar, and eggs.

We'd love to see you joining us at Wicked Wednesdays, you have until next Tuesday evening to join in this EASTER challenge.

Party Down

The challenge at Dilly Beans this week is PARTY...therefore, Party Down Little Dude! I didn't use very many embellishments, I thought the colors were bold enough and anything else might take away from the image. I used a CG sentiment, and colored the corners of the paper with my Copics...I was pretty pleased with myself at how close I was able to match the corners to the stripes.

My original thought was to make the horns into party hats...cute, right?!! Maybe I will the next time. I also thought the floating head would make a CUTE balloon, again... maybe next time. Even though it's fairly simple, I think it's a fun card.

Favorite Peep

I've been wanting to break-out my Cricut lately and needed to make a little "something" for Easter...so when I saw this adorable tag on A Child's Year cartridge I knew it was the cut that was meant to be.


Lot's of fun details, and my DIY sticker turned embellishment is the butterfly. After putting the sticker on cardstock I used my Epiphany Shapemaker which punches a circle shape and adheres the bubble cap over the image, all at the same time...I LOVE IT and use it, all the time!!!

A banner, spring border die, rub-ons, flowers, stickers, Viva Pearl Pen, Glossy Accents, and a googly eye...


I cut the tag base once and the chick two more times so I could pop-dot them. A little TH Distress Ink and Glossy Accents on the feet and beak completed this cut.


Challenges:
365 Cards: Day 22 - DIY
Exploring Cricut: It's a Spring Thing
My Sheri Crafts: #81 - Easter

Fairy Princess Card w/ Tag

It seems I've picked up extra days at work the past couple of weeks and haven't been able to get to my craft area as much as I've wanted, so my thought was to combine a few challenges with my limited time. Lucky for me, there were a couple of duplicate theme's making it pretty easy to accomplish this week....not to mention that making tags is probably one of my favorite projects to do.

I used the gorgeous MME Bella Bella DP and found a sheet in the stack with a filigree around the outer edges of the paper, so I just fussy cut it and used it in place of the rick-rack on the 365 Days sketch. There was a tad bit left, so I added it to the corner of the tag. I used the clear stamp set Fairy Princess from TGF for all the sentiments, mushroom, and fairies...such a cute and versatile set! A couple of different punches were used, along with lace, Viva Decor Pearl Pens, twine, Copics, and stickers. Stickers?! Yes, the buttons are stickers...I put glossy accents over them to give them some dimension.



I love the little details!
