Soft spring colors.....

....been loving them lately!!  Today I used yellows, light blues, light greens, and white for the cards I have to share.  They are so soft and pretty...makes me sigh a little bit.  Tee hee!

First up is my card for sketch 160 at the CPS Blog.  Such a fun little sketch this week...I loved the little peek of a circle that is included on it!

  "A True Friend...." supplies:

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

Paper: K & Company

Stamps/Ribbon: Renaissance by Design (Enjoy Life set)

Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: lime & Chalk: ice blue, lime pastel)

Jewels: Kaiser Craft

Corner Rounder: EK Success

Circle Cutter: Creative Memories

Embossing Machine: Cuttlebug by Provo Craft

Embossing Folder: Textile Texture by Provo Craft

Instructions:  Fold green cardstock in half to make card base.  Round the corners and ink the edges of a heart paper block.  Emboss a white cardstock block using the Cuttlebug and Textile Texture embossing folder.  Round the top corners and adhere to the front of the paper block.  Cut a circle over the right side of the seam and tie ribbon around the left side of it.  Add smooth white cardstock to the back and adhere the entire block to the front.  Stamp the sentiment inside the circle and outline with jewels.  Stamp the butterfly to white cardstock and cut out.  Adhere to the front using foam adhesive, and accent with light blue jewels. 

This next one has a glittery chick on it!!!  I am so loving it!  I used Sweet Sunday Sketch 62 for this one, and it is based on the Pink Elephant challenge #60 (use pastels).  I guess the other card fits that one too...:)

Instructions:  Fold yellow cardstock in half to make card base.  Stamp the damask print to a white cardstock block.  Layer a yellow scalloped paper frill and a blue damask paper strip to a yellow dotted paper strip.  Adhere the entire strip to the damask stamped block, and stitch along the edges.  Adhere the entire block to the front of the card.  Tie ribbon around the left side of the card, and adhere a chipboard flower underneath the bow.  Attach a button to the bow using twine.  Mask the fabric tag so that only the chick is showing, and glitter him.  Pull off the mask and adhere the fabric tag with the left corner tucked into the bow.  Accent the lower right corner with three clear jewels. 

Well, that is everything I have to share with you today!!  I better get going for now! ♥♥♥
