Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.
It's Easter weekend. We celebrate this holiday as a Christian because it's the day that Jesus won the victory over death and the grave.
We are having my hubby's family over for dinner. His Mom is 90 years old now so it's not always easy for her to get out or even want to leave her house. So, we are hoping that it's one of her good days and that she will be joining us.
For today I am featuring an Easter card that I made using the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #886. We were to use flirty flamingo, pale papaya and mango melody for our color trio. And, optional was to use a 4th color.

For my card I used the Exotic tulips stamp set from Altenew. It's one of those triple stamping sets. But you get such dimension of color with them.
I stamped my first layer with pale papaya, the 2nd layer is stamped once with flirty flamingo and the 3rd layer is stamped 2x with flirty flamingo.
For my leaves and stem I used pear pizzazz and old olive to cover the optional. The Happy Easter sentiment is a set from SNSS.
My background designer paper is from the "artfully composed" collection from Stampin' Up. This card already made it's way to one of my neighbor's mailboxes. That's it for me for this post. So until next time.......God bless and have a wonderful Easter celebration.
card details:
| Stamps: exotic tulips (Altenew), Jesus paid it all (SNSS) |
| Paper: mango melody, pale papaya, whisper white, artfully composed dsp (Stampin'- Up) |
| Paper Size: A2 |
| Ink: pale papaya, flirty flamingo, pear pizzazz, old olive |
