2 Easter Cards, One stamp

I have a couple of cards made with a background stamp by the Stamp Market. The 

company is new to me, but I'm sure everyone else has heard of and seen their 

wonderful stamps. This one is called Floral Background.

The first is embossed with Nuvo's Shimmering Pearl powder, and inked with Ranger's

Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade ink.

Creative Expressions', Easter Bunny Egg die set really does all the work, with the

sentiment die cut into the trim. I colored a bit of the flora with Metallic Accents 

watercolors by Art Philosophy. Stem and pink flowers from Altenew's Rose Flurries

3D Die set. 

2nd card, again stamped with Versamark and embossed with Stampendous Aged

Bronze Enamel. Totally different look. The die cut roses are Altenew 3D roses.

Cut with color cardstock, they add elegance to any card!

Well, that's it sharing a new to me stamp, Floral Background. 

I'm entering the bunny egg cared in JUGS Trend Week challenge: Off The Edge

Just Us Girls Trend Week #483 - Off the Edge

and the rose card in Fusion's challenge"

FUSION - Cheery Eggs

I followed the sketch side.

Thanks for the visit, and hope your Easter week is filled with blessings! 

12 Kits of Occasions: March 2019 - A Whimsical Garden

A great big 'howdy' to you all! The last day of March brings the 

12 Kits of Occasions. And our hostess Lisa Elton from mypapertales.blogspot.com,

is spreading Spring our way with 'A Whimsical Garden'. 

Beautiful papers from Cartabella, darling die cuts and sentiments, stamped sweet Spring

 images, and the most gorgeous rose gold sequins ever! Be still my blossom lovin' heart! 

Well just take a look...

This guy is loving the rain, and the hope of Spring blooms so much, I had to lead with 

him. Life in my valley is beautiful right now. We've had loads of life giving rain, and I

thank God for every drop!

Lisa included this phrase, which I added to the inside of froggie's card.

Really... it says it all!

Next up, one of 3 Impression Obsession bunnies included in the kit, popped up on

a field of flowers.

PTI: Shape Shifters Oval 3 & Cover Plate Marquee.

Lisa wrapped our goodies in this green and white chevron paper. Wish you could

feel it, so rich and smooth. Perfect for 2 bunny friends enjoying the outdoors.

Corners cut from PTI's Mix and Mat Herringbone and some of Lisa's dp from the kit.

These 2 friends are mounted on Stamplorations: Luggage tags

Lisa stamped these 2 in soft brown ink for us. I used my Polychromos pencils to color them.

I'm a bit over the moon for this Art Gone Wild 'puttering around bunny'. Lisa sent us the 

mini bow too. Seemed a good place to put it, over the medallion, on the wreath. 

Colored with copics.

I also colored the trio of bloom die cuts with copics, and framed the card in black.

Poppystamps: Stitchwork Rectangle Frames.

Thank you, thank you, Lisa for a fabulous Spring-a-licous kit!

Can't wait to peruse my 'kit sisters' blogs to see how they used their goodies! 

Lisa is giving away a couple of mini kits on her blog. Be sure to visit her blog

for details.

Happy Spring! Hope it's beginning to look like Spring where you are!

12 Kits of Occasions March 2017

It's the last day of March, and that means time for 

12 Kits of Occasions!

The fabulous Jeanne Jackna from A Kept Life

sent us a kit that's Out of This World!

Stamps and dies and papers, oh my!

When Jeanne's up at 12 Kits, get ready. She is an 

amazingly talented designer, generous, and lovely,

inside and out!

Thank you, dear Jeanne, I had so much fun with so many

images. Each of 8 cards came so quickly, I had to force 

myself to quit! And so much left. But that's OK, 

lots to play with in the future!

1st up, a shaker!

GA-ed his helmet face, and there's lots of Wink of Stella.

Have A Blast features a rocket with glittery fire.

These 3 space guys are circling earth!

I just love this sentiment with the little green guy.

A Space Needle surrounded by stars.

Got to play with some Finetec Pearl paints for this card.

This spaceman is out for a ride on this sweet rocket!

And finally this space duo flying in to wish a happy birthday.

Thank you again, Jeanne, for a kit that was 'Out of This World!

We have some guest this month too, Richard Breaks, Janis Woolbright, Betty Keefe,

and Katie Mowery. Be sure to stop by and give them some love!
