Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.
It is a beautiful Spring day here in Pittsburgh. It's 66° and expected to climb up to 72°. Tomorrow - for a big shocker- it's supposed to be 81°. We usually go from the furnace to the air conditioner but never this early. I am hoping just to be able to open my windows tomorrow and have the gentle breeze flow through my home. We shall see!
Now onto my card for today. I am going to be showing my Easter cards for the rest of this week. This one I made for the color challenge #942 on Splitcoaststampers. I am the hostess and I chose granny apple green, pumpkin pie and balmy blue for the color trio. Optional is to use 1 or 2 additional colors.
granny apple green, pumpkin pie, balmy blue |
I chose polished pink and gorgeous grape. I knew I was going to be using this die to create my card and I would need some additional colors. The gray and black colors are neutrals and are ok for this challenge.
I used the new CottageCutz Spring Bunny Car for the image. I wanted the bunny to be driving his car on a "road" so I used a piece of black cardstock and added a strip of white. I thought my idea turned out ok.
I used the Slimline Clouds die cut in white cardstock and then sponged with the balmy blue ink. The Easter Wishes is from the Bunny Kisses & Easter Wishes die. I used polished pink cardstock for this sentiment.
My stamped sentiment is an older stamp from Great Impressions. I used polished pink ink, added a couple of hearts and my card is complete.

ReplyDeleteIt's a real fun card but sadly ineligible at We Love Stamping as the car which is the focal element is a die cut, we are a stamping challenge and as stated on our challenge posts a simple stamped sentiment is insufficient.

It's a very cute and fun card, love the design so much! Such a shame it isn't eligible at our We Love Stamping challenge!
ReplyDeleteHope to see you again with another card, there is still more time... Remember that the focal point has to be stamped.
