Happy Easter, everyone! Or, as our church family likes to say, Happy Resurrection Day! I hope that you have a wonderful time with your family and friends today! Laurie is our Paper Players hostess with a wonderful theme...I don't think we've ever had this theme, so I'm even more excited about it! Here we go:
I remembered I had gotten this pretty little Inky Antics bird stamp a couple years ago and thought it would make a nice card to give to our church's praise team as a way to thank them for the lovely music they provide each week. I love this verse! Since the stamp is photopolymer, I actually cut the bird apart from the rest of the stamp; that made it easy to ink the branch in Smoky Slate and the bird in Memento Black. I stamped the verse over a portion of the branch so it would fit into the circle diecut a little better. The musical panel is from a retired Cornish Heritage Farm stamp, also stamped in Memento Black:
I added a partial scallop in Lost Lagoon as well as a little stitched scallop along the music piece. My final embellishment was some Silver Glimmer leaves cut from the Everyday Jars Framelits:
For my layout, I used the CAS(E) This Sketch for this week:
I hope you'll play with our musical challenge this week! We can't wait to see your creation in our gallery! For more inspiration, check out what the DT created:
As I promised, here are the tie-dyed eggs we did! Basically, you wrap a hard-boiled egg in a layer of paper towel, drip food coloring on it, spray with water and let it dry.
I have oodles of bottles of retired SU reinkers, so we used those, but I had too many layers of paper toweling, so the designs were rather faint.
They were cute, though! Maybe I should say "psychedelic"!!! She had fun doing them and that's all that mattered!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

I love this set and verse, LeAnne! I think your tie die eggs look very pretty! Fun too! Rejoice and enjoy this special day.
LeAnne...as always your daughter is adorable and taught me a new way to dye eggs! I love your sweet card this week... a lovely set.
I do love that music stamp down the side and the way that you've used bird, branch and verse. The Easter Eggs look great!
Beautiful verse for a beautiful card! Your eggs look like they were SO fun to make...Happy Easter!
LeAnne, I love how we both used the same theme challenge and sketch, with entirely different results! Your card is so lovely and elegant. I especially like the speckled look of your bird, and how you echoed that with the musical border. A belated Happy Easter to you, my friend!
LeAnne, this verse is so beautiful! The stamped music larger and the Lost Lagoon border look fabulous! Love the branch and the bird, too! Just so pretty! I love the dyed eggs. Your girls are adorable! I hope you have a fantastic week, My Friend! XX
Beautiful job with the theme and the sketch! This is marvelous LeAnne. The eggs look so cool. I'll have to remember this trick!
Oh, I love this, LeAnne! Wonderful take on the sketch!
beautiful card and fun activity
thank you for your comment in my blog
greetings from Chile
I absolutely LOVE this card LeAnne! What a beautiful sentiment and the subtle music border and birdy are the perfect accompaniment. Also love the subtle detail and colour of the border piece - I miss Lost Lagoon!
Your card is absolutely stunning! You have such an amazing gift for color and composition! The egg coloring looked fun. We didn't do any this year and I missed the mess! Hope you're having a great week ~ Hugs, Annie
