SC167 - Easter Wishes

This morning I spent my morning addressing and sending out some thank you notes for some gorgeous cards that I have gotten in the mail recently! I finally feel a little bit caught up on that.

Then I decided to tackle the sketch challenge. I know, I know, a day late and a dollar short as usual! I am excited about how it turned out though . . . the colors are so vibrant and summery! I am eager for summer to arrive. The weather here in Maricopa has been sunny and bright and lovely (read: 80F) the past couple days and we are loving it. We just have to get that play structure done soon before the real heat arrives!!!

Stamps: Magnolia Easter Egg Tilda, Bunny Hugs (SU!) Paper: Colorbok Aqua and Yellow Stripe, Taken with Teal, Apricot Appeal, Whisper White, Kraft, Pale aqua color DP (no name on it) Ink: Memories Black Dye Ink, Apricot Appeal Accessories: nch (Marvy Uchida), oval punch (SU!), white organdy with white dots, apricot grosgrain, mounting tape, ice crystal brads by SU! Cuttlebug machine and tiny bubbles embossing folder.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...
