For The Boys

This is my take on this week's Mystery Monday challenge at Club Anya & Friends. The image I used is from the Happy Day Stamp Set from The Greeting Farm. The base of my card is spring breeze backed in chestnut brown. I added brown chalk to the edges of the spring breeze. I cut strips out of white, spring breeze and pastel blue and added brown chalk to the edges of each. Then backed each one in chestnut brown. I also added brown chalk to the edges of the image and sentiment and backed it in chestnut brown. I added brown chalk to the blue chipboard star (it's hard to see in this photo) and added it to the upper corner of the card.

Wanna Be Bunny Boy

I created this Easter card using this adorable Sassy Cheryl's image called Wanna Be Bunny Boy. The base of the card is spring breeze. I added strip of pastel blue backed in white and a strip of white embossed using a cuttlebug embossing folder (dots). I added a sheer blue ribbon to the strip of embossed white. I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I also used blue and green chalk to finish off the background of the image. I backed the image in spring breeze and the sentiment in pastel blue. I finished off the card by adding three white pearls to the top corner.

Hippity Hop

I created this card using Wanna Be Bunny Girl from Sassy Cheryls. I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils and finished the background of the image using blue and green chalk. For the base of my card I took a square piece of white cardstock and inked the edges using a pastel pink chalk ink pad and then backed it in pastel pink cardstock. I cut a strip of white cardstock and emossed it using a cuttlebug embossing folder (dots). I then inked the edges using the pastel pink chalk ink pad and backed it in pastel pink cardstock. I punched along a strip of pastel pink cardstock using an eyelet lace border punch and added a piece of light pink and white dotted ribbon to the top of it. I backed the image in pastel pink cardstock. I cut the pink swirls from a strip of felt swirl embellishment. I created the sentiment in the same way as the background. I created the flower by using a retro flower punch. I punched five flowers out of white cardstock and inked the edges using the pastel pink chalk ink pad. Then I layered each flower on top of each other and added a pink rhinestone to the center. I curled each petal to give it more dimension. I finished off the card by adding pink rhinestones.
