Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog this first day of April. I did play a little April fools joke on my hubby. He laughed but said he knew I was joking. Then later on he played one on me and got me.
I can't believe how quickly March went to the history books. And, I am quickly coming to the end of another Pre-School year. That has even gone by much faster. We have a good group of kiddos this year. So loving and kind to us as well as each other.
Let's move onto my card for today. This one I created for my DT stint on the Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge team. Ally was our hostess, and she gave us a unique sketch. It had me thinking but in the end I loved using this layout for my card.
I decided to go with an Easter card and used a new die from the CottageCutz Spring collection. It's the Peeking Egg Bunny die.
My background paper is from the Stampin'-Up "Sweet Pea" collection. Then I used colors (gorgeous grape, pear pizzazz, pretty in pink and marina mist) that I thought worked with the pumpkin color of the designer paper and my card base.
For elements 2 and 3 of the sketch, I used a stitched square die cut in pear pizzazz and gorgeous grape cardstock. Then I cut the square panels in half to create the diamond shape.
For the image panel (element 4 of the sketch), I used the same size square die and just trimmed the top and sides per the sketch layout.
Sponged some clouds with a cloud stencil and tumbled glass distress ink. I got creative with element 5 of the sketch and used the "Bunny" sentiment for the rectangle panel. Stamped the hugs sentiment and my card was complete.
