PP779 Spring Flowers For You

 

Playing along today with Ann's Tic-tac-toe challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com with middle row down-ribbon, flowers, and pattern paper! I have a Pretty In Pink base with a layer of the Easter Joy specialty DSP. I grabbed this pattern because it has some of my daughter's fav colors (pastels) and this card is on its way to her at school. I ran three pieces of the Pretty In Pink ribbon around before attaching the pattern paper. I cut a Pretty In Pink label from the Traditional Labels dies and then popped my flowers stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Easter Basket stamp set on white card stock and cut with the matching dies after being colored with the Stampin Blends markers in Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, Balmy Blue, and Shy Shamrock. I also cut the grass twice in Shy Shamrock card stock with thos same dies. I used a whie banner punched with the Triple Banner punch for my sentiment in Black ink from the Esster Basket stamp set. I finished with some Pretty In Pink gems. 

Hope you have a beautiful Easter week and thanks for stopping by!

PP774 Hello, Spring!

 

I made this cute spring card for Claire's sketch challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com and to mail to my daughter away at college! Love this Easter Joy specialty paper and the Easter Basket bundle! I have a Shy Shamrock base and a layer of the paper in plaid plus a strip banner of another print. I cut three Shy Shamrock ribbon pieces to lay across before attaching to the top. I then cut a white Stylish Shape oval and stamped in Shy Shamrock ink the sentiment and added the bunny plus carrot stamped on white in Pecan Pie ink. I cut those with the matching dies to pop on my oval. I colored with Stampin Blends markers in Pretty In Pink, Peach Pie, and Shy Shamrock. I finished with some Pretty In Pink gems.

I stamped on the inside with card stock with Real Red ink using the Boardwalk Fun set. I then cut the black ferris wheel with some Real Red seats from the Boardwalk fun dies. I popped them on a white square and stamped the sentiment on white card stock in Red ink and cut with Stylish Shapes circle.

The Journey

I stamped the grass in Early Espresso ink on the die and then popped up my horse stamped in same ink on a piece of Pecan Pie card stock and hand snipped. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink and heat embossed in white embossing powder on a Early Espresso Nested Essentials banner die. I finished with some metallic gems.  

Hello Pastel Ferris Wheel

 

I made this card for my daughter who loves pastel colors! I have a white base and a piece of the Beach Broadwalk DSP with a pastel print on top. I cut a white wheel from the Boardwalk Fun dies and and the seats in Petal Pink, Pretty In Pink and Pool Party card stocks from the same dies. I also cut the starburst in the center with those dies in Pretty In Pink and Pool Party. I added some holograghic sequins to each seat and the middle. I then cut the Pretty In Pink ticket with the dies and the sentiment stamped with the Boardwalk Fun set in VersaMark ink and heat embossed in white powder and a heat tool.  

Hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for stoping by!
