Hey everyone,
Did everyone have a good Easter?! I hope everyone got around to some crafting!! Today on my blog I wanted to share my favorite card that I have made for the ME photo inspiration Challenge. You can read about the challenge HERE.
This is the photo that I used as my source of inspiration
If you haven’t yet, check out my blog posts Here, Here and Here to see the cards that I have already made using this photo as my inspiration.
Here is the card that I created today!
I used the Up and Away stamp set to create the monkey holding on to the balloons, and water coloured the monkey using my distress inks. I then paper pieced the balloons with some scrap paper I had lying around my craft desk that seem to fit the theme perfectly.
I water coloured the background using the distress inks Antique Linen, Broken China and Bundled Sage. The flicks of concentrated colour are from a Heidi Swapp color shine is Seafoam. I also put a coat of glossy accents over the balloons π
The sentiment is from a ME stamp set that I received in their class when I was on my trip inΒ New York π
I always seem to get a grin when I look at this card π It was so much fun to make!
Moving on to Easter! This Easter I made some delicious sugar cookies with some fancy icing, it was a ton of fun, and super messy. Here is a look at what some of the cookies looked like.
So pretty!! My favorite ones to make were the Easter eggs and the butterflies.
Here’s how I made them. Using Flood icing I covered my cookie. I used my toothpick to drag the icing to the edge and smooth out the icing.
While the icing was still wet I dropped a second colour right on top (usually stripes or dots… wow isn’t the table messy!!)
I then dragged my toothpick through the colours creating a really cool pattern!!
Ta-Da!
thanks for stopping by!!!
