Sparkle and Shine Challenge #3

Hello there!  Happy Wednesday to you!  Today I have a card to share with you for the newest Sparkle and Shine Challenge, which is starting today!  The inspiration for this challenge is this photo:

Challenge #3 is sponsored by Pretty Pink Posh!

For my card, I created a bright, watercolored Easter card!  I started by watercoloring a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock with a watercolor palette from Michaels.  Then I stamped, colored and die cut images from the Lawn Fawn Eggstra Special Easter stamp set.  I popped a grass diecut on the bottom of the card front first, and then arranged my images behind the grass.  Once I had them placed where I wanted them, I stamped a sentiment from the same set and then added some Sparkling Clear sequins in the 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm sizes.

Be sure to stop by the blog for lots more inspiration from the design team and for all of the challenge details!  Hope you'll join us for a chance to win some Pretty Pink Posh goodies! :)

PTI Make It Monday #58 - Graduated Backgrounds

This week's PTI Make it Monday - #58 showcases a technique that I have used before and I love the results. I chose to do a monochromatic background for this Easter card using Copic Markers in RV10, RV13 and RV14. These colors are among my most used Copics. I reach for them all the time. I used PTI's Scrambled Eggs and Little Bitty Bird stamp sets and the sentiment is from the Sweet Spring stamp set.

Hi there! I hope that everyone that celebrates Easter is having a very blessed holiday with your family and friends! We are headed to my mom's house for a ham dinner, and I wanted to take along a little something for her.
