Easter & Birthday

Made a few Easter Cards last Saturday and am finally getting them posted. For this card I used a sweet image from Di's Digis named "Bunny Treats." Entering into Di's "Spring Flowers" challenge, SumMoreFun Mood Board challenge (used a few of the colors and the images of flowers for inspiration), A2Z challenge "April Flower Power" (because of the sweet blooms), Simon Says Monday (the trio of flowers) and used sketch #371from the current Sketch Saturday challenge.  I printed the inside sentiment on my computer using a fun font named "Jokerman."

Cute Card Thursday- #524- Anything Goes                        (cutecardthursday.blogspot.com) 

This Easter card was created with a scrap of vintage choir music from a box we discovered in the basement of my hubby's family home. (Most of the music sheets and choir books are from the 1920's through 1940's, when his Grandma Laura was the music director at her church.) Used several other paper scraps when putting the card together- Layering paper (blue scrapbook paper as the background and behind the sentiment), butterfly die (scrap of black cardstock, lined with a scrap of lavender vellum). Finished the card with a bit of dimension and bling by adding a large flower, and several small blossoms, from my sticker stash. Entering this into several challenges including SumMoreFun (reflects a few of the colors and butterfly in the left photo), Pixie's Snippets (because the card is made with treasures from my scrap box) and CAS-usal Fridays (because the card just shouts "Spring".)

The current challenge at Art Impressions is to create a Gate Fold card. This simple fold creates a perfect way to highlight two of my favorite AI characters, Eunice and Cliff. The fun sentiment is also from Art Impressions but is no longer available.
