Celebrate Easter

I created this Easter card using Tilda With Eggs from Magnolia Stamps. I used this week's sketch from The Sweet Stop.  The spin was to use the color green. I started with a card base of lily pond
green.  I added a piece of white card stock cut just a little smaller than the base of the card.  I punched a piece of lily pond card stock using an eyelet lace border punch.  I punched a piece of vineyard card stock using the eyelet lace border punch and added it to the bottom of the green.  I added a purple dotted ribbon just above the punched area. I cut a square piece of pastel purple card stock and backed it in white and added it to the left side of the card.  I colored the image in crayola and prisma color pencils and backed it in vineyard card stock.   I added it to the left side of the card.  I stamped the sentiment "CELEBRATE EASTER" onto the lily pond cardstock beside the image and above the ribbon.  I layered 2 purple paper flowers and added a grass green rhinestone to the center and added it to the bottom corner of the image.  I added a butterfly cut out of the lily pond card stock, and added 3 purple rhinestones and added it just above the flowers.   I added a pastel purple butterfly with 3 grass green rhinestones above the sentiment.  I added 3 grass green rhinestones to the pastel purple card stock and 3 purple rhinestones to the bottom corner of the card.

I love you this much!

I created this 5 x 5 square card using this adorable digital stamp from Elisabeth Bell called  I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH.  I started with a lily pond card base.  I cut a piece of sugar n spice cardstock just slightly smaller than the card base.  I added a piece of green dotted ribbon across the middle.  I added lily pond corner pieces that I punched using an eyelet lace border punch.  I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils and backed it in lily pond card stock.  

I layered 2 large pink paper daisies and 1 smaller paper daisy and added a grass green rhinestone to the center.  I added 3 more grass green rhinestones in the upper corner.  The grass green and white butterfly is from The Crafting Boutique.

Spots n Dots

Good morning! Here is my 2 Sisters DT card using TUTU SWEET from Meljens for this week's SPOTS N DOTS challenge. 

I started with a blue bell card base.  I added a piece of tan card stock to the top half and dotted patterned card stock to the bottom half. I added a piece of blue bell card stock in the middle. I added a piece of turquoise ribbon across the middle.  I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils.  I backed the image in blue bell card stock and then again in the dotted patterned card stock.  I stamped the sentiment on white card stock and backed it in blue bell card stock.  I added 2 blue paper daisies to the side of the ribbon.  I punched 2 daisies out of the dotted card stock and added it to the center of the blue daisies.  I added out to sea rhinestones to the center of the flower, along the ribbon and to the upper corner of the card.  I added feldspar glitter glue around the sentiment,image and to the dots on the image.
