Two Projects today!

I don't usually do double posts but this is a busy week! Lots to make and show so I'm glad you came by! If you started here and don't want to miss anything you may want to visit our excellent Suzanne's blog now. If you've arrived from the superior Sharon you're doing great! I'm at the end of the hop so feel free to check out the link to Diana's wonderful store on my sidebar! Our Design Team blog hop today is to feature some pop up cards we've made! So here is mine. It is called a Spring Card and the directions (easy!) are in the Resources section at SCS! I've seen so many terrific cards made with Tilda with bow and I had to get in the act with Spring colors! My lavendar colors are BV000 and BV02 with a little darker lavendar that I can't remember right now. The pinks are R81 and R83. Her sleeves are YR000 and YR21. Her hair is E33, YR21 and E25.
This second card is for the Copic Creations challenge. This time we are sponsored by DZDoodles digital images and I love my basket of eggs! I have quite a number of birdhouses, nest and eggs that I decorate with in the spring. My favorites are actually the "natural" ones so that's the look I went for. I used the nasty rag on my eggs and added some dots for the look I wanted. But, our challenge is...


to color embellishments! Yep, with our copics! I colored some PTI twill ribbon (it was cream). I also colored the blue buttons and even the twine in the white button. They are all colored with BG72 and the buttons have a mottled apearance like the egg. The sketch is a MoJo Monday one.
This card says Spring to me and it could be for Easter, too!
I will have a few more pictures of this card tomorrow with our Mo's digital Pencil blog hop! We are celebrating 1000+ members on PCP and I don't think you'll want to miss the event!
If you have any questions about these cards, please don't hesitate to ask!
Have a great day! I will-it's our Winter Break from school!
Cheryl
Forgot to add, YES, I will be giving SOMETHING away. Not sure what, but definitely a Maggie card and a Maggie stamp!
Just leave a comment! I love,love,love reading them! Maybe youi can tell me the weather where you are today! (We're weather buffs here!) THANKS!

  10. Hi ya your cards are beautiful and certainly make you think of spring, unlike our weather here in sheffield uk. We are having a very dull grey day with intermittent heavy rain and sleet, though the birds in my garden think its spring, just wish the weather would catch up . Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards Julye

  22. Cheryl, Very pretty cards! We are thawing out from a record snowfall. In Ft Worth, Tx we had 12" of snow. This is the most this area has seen in 50 years. It was so much fun.

    ReplyDelete
  23. As usual two stunning cards, Cheryl. I love the soft spring colors.
    It is still cold here (6:40 AM PST) but it suppose to get up to the high 50's, nice sunshiny weather and I bet snow by Easter.

  36. Forgot to tell you about our weather. Actually, it is beginning to feel quite a bit like spring. We have some flowers blooming already! It is a bit chilly though. And we're hosting the Winter Olympics. Good thing is that the mountains are colder!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Beautiful cards! I love the spring "maggie" and your Easter basket is awesome!
    It's partly Sunny today with some clouds moving in an a light gorgeous snow falling. Yesterday, though, we had a mini-blizzard and were able to see some snow formed into a tornado (of course it was NOT a tornado, so there was no danger and it was very small, only a few feet high, because there wasn't too much snow) We're in KS, btw.
    Blessings!
