Flourishes April Challenge

The colors of pink lemonade are in the challenge at Flourishes this month.   I used the pretty Tulips for Friends set for this card along with the gorgeous Perfectly Pierced Victorian Oval die set.    I stamped the image and sponged around it and then used Stickles to color it in.  The background dies are Spellbinders Resplendent rectangles which I also sponged the edges with Spun Sugar distressed ink.  I added a bow and mulberry paper butterfly to finish the card.  The top hinged card is from Becca's tutorial on Amazing Paper grace. 

Fourishes Timeless Tuesday and Split Coast sketch

Wrap it with Ribbon is the theme this week on Flourishes blog.  The sketch is from Split Coast Stampers.   I used Flourishes beautiful Tulips for Friends stamp and Labels 4 from Spellbinders.  The background is made entirely of ribbons, sheer ribbon and turquoise ribbon with pink ribbon lace over the top of the sheer striped ribbon.  The sentiment is from this same set and I used a Spellbinders fancy label.  A little gold edging from a Krylon pen finishes the card.   

Bug/Butterfly/Bird Explosion box

Cheery Lynn's challenge this week is is to use bugs, butterflies or birds on your creation.  I'm using lots of CL butterflies.  Exotic Butterfly medium  and the angel wing are on the top of this box.  The flowers are made from three different dies.     Stacker flower die 5,   large and medium rose strip.The greenery is  Rose leaf strip, Flourish leaf strip,  wreath strip.    On the inside of the box I used two of the larger butterflies,   Exotic butterfly medium 2 and the angel wing,  Exotic butterfly medium 3 and angel wing. 
The papers are Anna Griffin from my stash and I used a holographic gold peel off border around them.  The saying is a Me and Carrie Lou stamp.  Here are the photos of the inside and the side view. I got this idea and the dimensions from Nataliya Simpson's blog, thank for the directions!!!   I'm also entering this in The Shabby Tea Room challenge, blue and white. 

Just Rite Suddenly Spring

Suddenly Spring is the challenge on Just Rite's this week.  I used the gorgeous new French Rose background stamp and colored it in with copic markers and antiqued the edges.   I added some Cheery Lynn dies, mini fanciful flourish, 
mini Polynesian sails doily in gold mirror card, mini French Pastry doily in pink with a peel off saying.  I added some punched corners with pearls and ribbon and bow to finish the card. 

Our daily bread design, crosses

The challenge on ODBD is use a cross or something symbolic of the true meaning of Easter.  I used their Cross of Christ set and gold embossed the 2 largest crosses and then used some Antique linen distressed ink.  The embossing folder and border are from Marianne designs.  The words are gold glittered peel off letters from Michaels.  I added some soft champagne colored pearls and more of the Antique linen distress ink to finish the card. 

Cheery Lynn's Celebrate challenge

I made this cute Easter card for the celebrate challenge at

I added a lace egg 1 and lace egg 5 that are cut on sticky paper and then I used glitter to color them.  I added some leaves from the rose strip and olive branch.   The flower is from the miniature rose trip and medium rose strip.  I added some peel off letters and a bow to finish the card.
