Easter Joy

Happy Tuesday everyone and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. It feels like spring here. Our temp is 71 today. The weather report said we are 22 degrees above normal.

Our spring garden will be blooming soon. The tulips are getting taller and hopefully the deer will let them alone.

I was with my grandsons after school today. It was an easy laid back day. I just had to pick up Aidin after school. He had play practice but no homework. Ethan had a basketball game but my son came home in time to take him.
I stayed until 6:15 and then headed back to my side of town. We have bible study on Tuesday evening at church so I went up there.

That was a little of my day and now onto my card. I made this one for the color challenge #366 on Splitcoaststampers.

I am the hostess this week and I chose the color trio of daffodil delight, pool party and poppy parade. These nice, bright colors definitely said spring to me.


I decided to use the field flowers set from Stampin-Up. I stamped the flowers in poppy parade ink and cut them out. I popped the flowers up for dimension and then stamped the stems in pool party ink.

Stampin-Up’s attic boutique designer paper is my background layer and this pattern covers all 3 of the challenge colors.

I used a Spellbinders label 16 and cut some daffodil delight cardstock and more of the attic boutique paper also in daffodil delight.

The Easter Joy sentiment is 2 different stamps from Marks Finest Papers "blessings" set.
To finish my card I used some pool party seam binding and added a dew drop in the center of my bow and a couple on my flower stem.

The layout is one that I saw on Sandy MacGiver’s blog. It is a MojoMonday sketch from last year.

That’s my card for today. It's late and time to dim the lights in charmed life land for another day. So until next time.......God bless.
