Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. How has everyone’s weekend started off? Yesterday was such a strange day weather wise here. It was sunny, then it snowed, sunny again, then the hail came down strong, sunny again, then rain. All this with heavy gusts of wind all day. It did not feel like spring at all. I was able to get one of our traditional Easter dishes made and my niece and nephew stopped by for some. I handed it out the door to them, keeping a distance. I can’t wait till this Social Distancing is over, but until then I do what I have to do.
I was all done with Easter cards, mailed all that I had out on Tuesday. My son’s girlfriend asked me Thursday night if I could make her 3 Easter cards, of course I couldn’t say no. Here’s one of the cards I made for her.
My colors were inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge #588. Here are their colors.
I also played along with Just Add Ink Challenge #500.
I joined in with Inspire. Create Challenge #066. Here is their Theme.
I started by adhering a panel of the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper to a Daffodil Delight mat using Snail. I adhered the matted panel to a Granny Apple Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the stem image from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set in Granny Apple Green Ink 3 times. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set on either side of the stems in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the largest tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set 3 times on the Whisper White panel. I stamped the 1st tulip in Daffodil Delight Ink and sponged the edge using my Sponge Dauber with Melon Mambo Ink. The 2nd tulip I stamped in Melon Mambo Ink, stamped it off once, then sponged the edge with my Sponge Dauber in Melon Mambo Ink. The last tulip I stamped in Pumpkin Pie Ink and sponged the edge in Melon Mambo Ink using my Sponge Dauber. I cut all the tulips out using my Tulip Builder Punch and cut the stem images out using my Stitched Nested Labels Dies.
I adhered the tulips to the stamped stem images using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the sentiment out in Daffodil Delight cardstock using my Word Wishes Dies and adhered it on the artwork using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots to the card front.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Wish For Everything Cling Stamp Set in Granny Apple Green Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the stem image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink 3 times on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set twice on the stems in Granny Apple Green Ink. I stamped the medium tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie Inks on the stems. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Daffodil Delight mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Granny Apple Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the stem image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink 3 times on the bottom front of the envelope. I stamped the medium tulip image from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie Inks on the stem images. I adhered a panel of Perennial Essence DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
