Wishing You a Joyous Easter

Playing with Altenew's gorgeous floral stamps, 'Wallpaper Art', and my 

copics, I created an Easter card. Included in my order was the Layered Plaid

Cover A & B dies. I truly hated to cover the plaid die cuts up with anything,

but couldn't resist Eastery pastels with rosey copper Nuvo embossing powder

over the plaid. 

The top plaid cover die is a lavender pink shimmer cardstock I've 

had squirreled away forever!

I found a sentiment from PTI's Etched Eggs, and copper embossed that 

as well. The tiny posies are from Altenew's Build A Flower: Poppy.

When I chose my copics I made sure they were full color, that is, 02, 04, and so forth.

The pastels pop a bit more with full hue. 

Hope your weekend is full of fun and crafty goodness! 

Working on more Easter cards I can't wait to share!

Mixing Up a Batch of Thanks

Our challenge this week at PTI's MIM is to created a shadowed sentiment.

Lizzie expertly shows us how on her video here:

Make It Monday #310: Shadowed Sentiments

I was celebrating the arrival of my PTI order, with the Life is What You Bake It set,

and decided to create my card around it.

My bg is a stenciled plaid created with the Horizontal Stripe Coverplate die.

The die cut vellum was first stenciled with Spring Rain, then the vellum stencil was

turned and stenciled with Bright Buttercup.

One of the corners from Floral Flaps gave me an 'awning' over the

spoons and sentiment.

Love this technique, and can't wait to do it again!

Have a great week!
