I guess this is going to be the last Easter card that I make this year. I've enjoyed them because it's Spring and Easter and there are all sorts of beautiful images out there to choose from. The colors can be bright or soft.
This is one of those cards that doesn't end up as I first envisioned it. The image is Milly Just for You from Lili of the Valley stamped on the Express It Copic Blending paper. I looked through some of their inspiration cards and picked out 4 that I really liked and I thought would be good layouts for this image. Well, I ended up not using any of them. I had the MFT (My Favorite Things) Sketch 65 on my desk and decided that would be a great layout for this image. I am a week late for the challenge, but oh well.
I used Stampin Up Confetti White cardstock for the base of the card and for the mats for the designer paper (First Edition - Summer Breeze) and also to stamp the sentiment on - Stampin Up Fancy Flexible Phrases which was stamped using Stampin Up Blue Sky and cut with the Nestabilities Nested Lacey Pennants. I also used the Blue Sky cardstock for the doily which is cut using Nestabilities Lacey Circles. The flowers are Primas from my stash as well as the lace, and the brads are from my stash. The pearls are from Martha Stewart.
The Copics I used are B0000; BV0000; E50, E51, E53; G00, G12; N0; R20, R21, R22, R30; Y11, Y13, Y15; Y21, Y23, Y267; YR61, YR65.
I'm submitting this card for the following challenges:
The Outlawz Monday Greeting Challenge - Pastels
Paper Sundaes Challenge - Happy Easter
Bugaboo - Anything Goes
ABC DT Challenge - Anything Goes
CR84FN51 Challenge - Colors - Pink, Peach, Light Blue
