Happy Palm Sunday, everyone! What a blessing it is to think about this time of resurrection! We're having a brunch at church today, so it's a double blessing!! Busy but fun. And I was busy in my craft room this weekend, creating my Paper Players' card for Claire's sketch...LOVE this one!
I am behind on making my Easter cards, and since there were lots of layers on Claire's sketch, I went for lots of different pastel-hued papers!!! I certainly have enough of them, but many of them in the colors that I wanted were more vintage-styled, so I had to really search to find these!
There's really not much stamping on this card! I started with my wreath, which is actually a Christmas wreath from my recently-purchased Lawn Fawn set, Peace Joy Love. It's really just a little semi-circle stamp, so I inked it up three times in Pear Pizzazz ink and matched the ends to make a circle shape, then diecut it with a Stitched Shapes Framelit. I added some Crisp Cantaloup flowers with pearl centers, and a little diecut bunny with a purple bow (Lil'Inker):
I added pink and blue banners, then hung a little diecut tag (Provocraft), stamped with an Easter sentiment and strung on a Crisp Cantaloupe thick Baker's Twine bow:
I also put an Easter sentiment on the inside of my card as well! These colors just make me think of spring and Easter eggs! I hope you'll play with Claire's sketch as well, and check out what the DT created! They've outdone themselves:
Almost all the snow has melted from our storm, so I am glad Cassidy got to play in it for a little while!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I am obsessed with your polka dot bunny and I love the gingham behind it. Your brought the wonderful pastel colors of spring together beautifully on this card and it's a fabulous take on the sketch. I was feeling all spring--like until I saw Cassidy's photo :-) I can't believe that it's the end of March here and I am still looking out of my window and seeing snow on the ground!! Have a fabulous Easter
