Vintage foiled egg

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the ‘Can You Handle the Pressure‘ challenge where the twist is Easter.

My original plan was to create a large vintage foiled egg with a WRMK embossing folder. But then I was concerned that the challenge would expect us to also include an embossed background… so I pulled out the Pebble embossing folder by Carabelle Studio again!

Then I felt that the card STILL needed something extra so I added a vellum sprig cut from the Sylvan Sprig by Poppystamps.

Finally I added a Memory Box sentiment to complete my card.

Jumping Chick

Hi there!

Today I’m playing along with the colour challenge at The Paper Players and the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

The colour combo for The Paper Players challenge just said Easter to me, but my inspiration was a bit lacking until I saw the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and thought I could create a fun chick scene using the Easter colour combo. I used the chick from Poppystamps’ Chick and Egg die set, together with a Memory Box egg and Lawn Fawn grass die – all coloured with distress inks.

To complete my card, I added a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

The Golden Egg

Happy Sunday!

Today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge which has a palette of lime green, aqua and gold.

Such an interesting combo! As I’m making Easter cards at the moment, I decided to create a little Easter scene using distress oxide inks and dies by My Favorite Things, Poppystamps and Memory Box! e and a few Spellbinders flowers coloured with distress inks! Plus a sentiment from Taylored Expressions! Lots of different brands here! It was so much fun to make!

Tulip egg card

Hello  everyone!

After inking up a wood-mounted stamp yesterday, I chose another one for today’s card which I made for the colour challenge at  CAS Colours and Sketches.

I chose the beautiful Tulip Egg stamp by Whipper Snapper Designs. This one has 2005 on it, but I’m pretty sure I got this much later – maybe in 2010.

Anyway, I stamped it in Frayed Burlap Archival ink and coloured it with Twinkling H2O paints. I then adhered the Twiggy Nest die cut from Memory Box to my card base and added the egg and a Simon Says Stamp sentiment. I felt it still needed a little something so I coloured some white card with my three colours of Twinkling H2Os and die cut some tiny circles which I randomly adhered on the background and nest.

Embracing Green

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the ‘Can You Handle the Pressure‘ challenge where the twist is green. Have I mentioned how much I love this challenge! It’s fabulous to actually use my collection of embossing folders!

As Easter is fast approaching, I decided to incorporate that into my card. I chose the Pebble embossing folder by Carabelle Studio because I always think it looks like eggs! (On that note, why are there NO Easter embossing folders??? I tried to get one that Darice made a few years ago but apart from that I don’t think I have seen any others… quite odd really!).

I decided to incorporate green by adding foliage to a die cut egg. However, after I had die cut the My Favorite Things Fab Foliage dies, I decided to switch things up a bit! I die cut an egg which I then coloured green with my Distress Oxide inks and then adhered the white die cuts!

Vintage Eggs

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the ‘Choose Two’ challenge at Just Add Ink.

The choices were flower, paper and/or pattern and I decided to use some of my patterned paper mountain – so I went for the second two of the trio, although you could say I also chose flowers as one of the papers includes flowers!

I was inspired by a CAS card that Fraeulein.diy shared last year on Instagram and pulled out some pretty papers from Basic Grey’s Lucille collection. I used Memory Box dies to cut the paper eggs and then threaded some thin twine before adhering the eggs to the card base. Finally I stamped a Memory Box sentiment to complete my CAS card.

Thanks for stopping by!
