You...Make Me Smile

For the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week I created 2 totally different style cards. The first one is what I first imagined in my mind. I wanted to mix some soft colorful flowers with bold black & white and just a touch of gold! Maybe it was a little better in my mind, but its still pretty!

Then, just for fun I saw a card on Pinterest that inspired me to get out the Confetti Wishes paper and the Operation Smile, Happy Everything stamp. After coloring the balloons I realized that I didn't have sequins that perfectly matched. No problem, I just colored some white sequin with the Shin-Han Twin Touch Markers! I finished with 3 MyStickease gift packages that were pop dotted.

Which card is your favorite?!!

Happy Easter

This year I was inspired by the Blossom papers and the new MyAcrylix stamp set Shower Flowers (C1612) to create some Spring/Easter cards. I love the color scheme and the whimsical design of the flowers.

Here are a couple designs I did~

I did a few of these cards.  The pattern comes from the Jackson cardmaking workshop.  I randomly stamped the flowers in the corner and cut out a few extra ones to stand out.  A simple sentiment and some sequins finishes this card beautifully!

I did the same idea on this taller card and just simply added a bunny. The template for this card comes from the Wishes how-to book.

These cards are blooming with happiness, I hope they bring a smile to the faces of the recipients!

Happy Easter everyone, thanks for hopping by!!

You are...

One of the stamp sets from the Seasonal Expression 2 book has been getting lots of attention in my craft room this week. It's called Shower Flowers. (C1612) The flowers are fun to ink up and create little clusters with. I wanted to try a little different color scheme with them other than what was shown in the idea book. I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week and a variety of some cardstocks with some Snowhaven papers. 

The sentiment is from the stamp set included in the Blossoms Cardmaking WOTG kit. You'll see more of that kit in my next post!
