Enjoyable Easter Card

I'm so in love with the Featured Stamper Challenge - so here's this week's card for Splitcoast Stampers. Here I'm only using scraps from Dreamy Creamy and Distressed Burlap - and a digi Easter Egg Lamb. I chose this design because I'm trying to use sentiments in conjunction with my images - this sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthday collection. I like how this turned out.

                                              

Howdy

I made this card for this month's mystery item at our local scrapbook group, SALSA. The mystery item is the fiber in the background. I always try to think of a more original use for our mystery items - but when I held this fiber up against the denim in We Are 3's new release, Howdy, I had to add it. Against the denim, it just so reminds me of my most comfortable, frayed jeans. The image is Graceful Still Life from Power Poppy. I embellished it a bit with a button, bow, and some extra dimensional flowers.

With Deepest Sympathy

Today I was practicing coloring white roses when my hubby came in asking for a sympathy card for the family of a golf buddy who had died yesterday. I continued with my coloring - and altered the image a bit. The original image from Power Poppy (Graceful Still Life) includes books and a hat. I used Gimp to erase those elements, and I added a golf club and golf ball. Quite the turn my card took - but I love how it turned out.

Here's a close-up of the image.
