Loving this Nature's Symphony bundle

 I love the whole Nature Walk Suite...right down my alley with its brushed and shattered and scripted designs but probably what I "had to have" the most was the large, very detailed leaf die. For this card I used both the cut out and the negative space for a stencil. I also used quite a few of the stamps as well as the sweet wood plank die. Oh, and for an accent, I used the Earthen toned Metallic paper and the streaked dots from the Fall catalog.


I did a live video showing how to do this card

Quick and Easy Spring/Easter cards

 I was inspired by one of my friends, Barbara Brougher today with some cards she made with this Square Snippets Designer Series Paper and a retired ephemera pack! After class, I pulled out said paper and our new Easter Time Mix & Match ephemera pack, and another new product i just got, Softest Spring Mix & Match Puffy Stickers. 

In addition, I needed a few blender pens to brighten, highlight and shade some of the ephemera pieces. 

I also used assorted cardstock and ribbons along with the Triple Banner Punch... Banner Sayings Bundle. And 3 embossing folders:




This card uses Peach Pie and Garden Green Cardstock, a small piece of Crumb Cake 2-tone and Peach Pie, Crumb Cake and Daffodil Blends.  Here's what the piece looked like before colored.



This adorable bunny card uses light Crumb Cake blends to outline the white features of the ephemera. 
Here's what the bunny looked like before colored...the egg and the flowers were also outlined with the Crumb Cake Blend
A springy watering can with florals..the bird is from the puffy stickers 


Another watering can where I used Crumb Cake Blends to shade and fill in the white areas of the ephemera.  The butterfly is a puffy sticker. Here is what the watering can looked like before colored.







This Easter bunny pops out from the spring wreath. I didn't add any color. 2 puffy stickers accent the card.

This cute little egg basket didn't need much help except for some puffy butterfly stickers.
Maybe my favorite, a swap of spring flowers, a polka dot egg and a puffy bird sticker finish off this series.
