I used the last column on the TTT Board: Wet embossing, Patterned Papers and Birthday.  


My card is created using a fabulous paper pack by Stampin' Up!  I love these papers so much.  I covered the background with a blue print.  The rectangle is from the same paper pack.  I backed it in white to make it pop off the blue.  The flowers are from the Stampin' Up  Two-Toned Flora stamp set.  I used Crisp Cantaloupe and Calypso Coral inks to create the flowers.  The leaves were stamped with Pool Party.  The circle was cut with a circle die to place behind the flowers.  The sentiment is heat embossed in white.

The Amazing Joanne is our hostess this week and she has a very fun Color Challenge for all of us!  We can't wait to see what you create!   It's time for all the pastel lovers to create some fabulous projects!  





My card is created on a white card base.  I used watercolor paper to create the background.  I used a sponge and distress inks for the grass and sky.  The Sun was created on watercolor paper and distress inks, too and cut with a sun die.  The little Bunnies are from Reverse Confetti,  The set is called Hippity Hoppity.  Reverse Confetti went out of business, but you may be able to find this set on Ebay.  The sentiment is from the same set.  The basket is created using a die from Reverse Confetti.  I have owned this die for years.  I love it.  I stamped the eggs and flowers from the same stamp set and colored them with Copic Markers!  Two clouds were added.  I put Wink of Stella on most of the card for shine!

We have a fabulous sketch challenge for all of you!

The amazing Deb created this sketch!  



My card is created on a white card base.  I added layers of magenta and turquoise paper.  I stamped the jelly bean background using pink ink. I used a die to cut the frames using both colors of paper.  The little peeps were stamped on lime green paper and cut with the matching dies.  The Peep stamp and die set were from Simon Says Stamp.  It was part of a card kit.  I keep this set in my stash.  Even though I don't eat peeps, I love this set.  LOL!   The sentiment is from the same set and heat embossed in white.  I added some white twine for fun!
