Blog hop & Poppy Seed Challenge

Tonight I am participating in the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.  This month is all about BUTTONS.  I decided to make some Easter tags and I followed the format given by Lisa Johnson for her Poppy Seed challenge 2.

I love all the elements we were to incorporate.  Light Moss looks good with everything!

The little bunny is from a Stampendous set called Luv Bunnies.  I colored a few key parts of her with a Sakura Gelly Roll pen for sparkle and added just a touch of color to the Easter Egg.   I stamped Polka Dot Basics II from PTI with Versamark Dazzle to create the background and then added a scrap of plaid at the bottom.  The buttons are PTI Vintage Spring Mix & Holiday Mix.  All are adhered with glue dots excepted for the last blue one.  I used Rustic Cream Button Twine for some added dimension and tied it on.

On the back you can see a simple sentiment highlighted by the Rustic twine and one more button.  Hope you are inspired to "get your Easter on" or to check out all the amazing artists participating in the blog hop.

CRAFTy Easter Challenge

Hi all!  Hope you are having a great weekend.  Today I am posting a card  made for a challenge issued by Ted at Happily Ever Crafter.    The guidelines are to make an Easter project that incorporates elements which spell out C-R-A-F-T.

My elements are . . .

C-cardstock  R-rabbit  A-Almost Amethyst   F-flowers   T-twinkles

Ok, twinkles might be stretching it a bit but I think Ted will still let me participate :)

For the layout I cased a past CPS sketch.  There are three types of glitter elements.  The yellow and blue are cut from a glitter stack.  The bunny is outlined with the clear star Sakura gelly roll pen.  The amethyst color is glitter applied to a strip of scor tape.  I love this technique.  It is simple and adds a big punch.

Hope you are inspired to stop by Happily Ever Crafter and play along.
