Happy Easter!




Hi, friends!

I hope you are all doing well!  Spring has sprung here with my pretty daffodils blooming, but winter wants to hang on.  The temps are in the 30's.  It will warm up starting tomorrow for a few days, so I'm certainly looking forward to better weather.

I've mailed most of my Easter cards and thought I'd share a few of them with you today.



The above sweet images from Sunny Studio were water colored after I embossed them with gold embossing powder.  I used a MFT die to die cut the panel.  I just love the cute images and the pretty tulips!  I'm entering this card over at The Four Seasons Challenge.


Next up, I used distress inks for the butterflies, which are from Sissix.  The sentiment is from Newton's Nook.  I die cut the panel after it was embossed with polka dots.  The die is from The Greetery.  I need to make more of these butterflies for I love the beautiful distress inks on these wonderful butterflies!  I'm entering this card over at Can You Handle The Pressure.  





My last card is very simple with tidbits that I used from another Easter card using a die cut from Reverse Confetti.  The cross was embossed in gold, which is from Stapendous.  I thought I had a photo of that card, but it was already sent out.  And, I looked for the die in the store at Reverse Confetti, but I  could not find it, so it may be discontinued.  Anyways,  I finally used some tid bits for a card.  I'm always inspired by Carol Our Little Inspirations when she uses her tid bits!

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care and have a great weekend!

Hugs!
Maria

    P.S. Your second card certainly qualifies for the challenge over on our CAN YOU HANDLE THE PRESSURE blog where using your embossing folders is the theme and current twist is Easter. Please feel free to share this cute creation!

    Cute, gorgeous and so pretty are my comments on the cards. I love those butterflies in the soft colors and the cross is so unique. I got your card sometime this week. My neighbor has been bringing up my mail so I don't know when it came but I love it. The background die is awesome and the lillys are gorgeous. Thank you so much. I finally got my cards mailed out.

    They're all such cute cards for Easter, but I'm just loving those little critters on the first one! The butterflies are beautifully colored and how clever of you to use all those little bits to create a background! Nice work on all of them, and do have yourself a wonderful and blessed Easter! I hope it warms up a little for both of us :)
