Things are getting exciting at home. We have two weddings in the next couple of months and one little princess in particular is thrilled to get two new pretty outfits. I'm not so happy at the thought of dress shopping for myself though. I rate it just above visiting the dentist - I'm doing that next week too. But, I'm determined to power through and find "Mother of the Bride" suitable outfits.
But before I put on my comfy shoes and brave the stores ...
.... there is a new challenge starting today at
Thank you to everyone who joined in with last month's challenge. The winners have been announced on the challenge blog. This is a month long challenge and you can enter up to three times. There is a full list of rules on the challenge blog.
Our theme every month is the popular
"Anything Goes"
and our sponsor this month is:
who are offering a $6 voucher for their store for our lucky winner.
I have an 8"x 8" (20 x 20cm) Easter card to show today.
I cut some mixed media card to make the matting layers for the card base, image panel and sentiment. I coloured the edges with lilac Copic pen BV02 to match the image. The yellow mats are Papermania card.
I glued a piece of Easter egg tissue paper to the yellow card mat.
I used the super sweet egg and bunny image from the
Easter Hippity Hop digi set and coloured it with my Copics. There are two more eggs, two sentiments and a cute little bunny also in the set. The set comes with coloured images as well as the black line drawings, all in PNG and JPG format.
I added colours to this sentiment from the digi set.
I made paper flowers using mixed media card coloured with Shaded Lilac Distress Ink and added them to the card with a seam binding ribbon bow.
To finish the card I cut some egg shapes from yellow card and white card that was coloured with the lilac Copic pen.
Grab some inspiration while you're there and enter your "Anything Goes" creations in this month's challenge.
I have entered this card in the following challenges:
