Tulips and Pansies

3/31/2014

Welcome to another Eureka challenge. This week our theme is spring flowers-it won't be long before they'll be popping up out of the ground around these parts.

I used Eureka's Tulip and Pansy Frame and Friends are Blossoms for the sentiment. This is my first project colored entirely with Copics. This beautiful image makes for an easy CAS design. I popped up two of the flowers on foam dots.

There's a fifth week challenge going on over at House of Cards ...and here's your inspiration:

There are some beautiful colors and patterns in here that would be great for spring cards, but I chose to make a winter card with the blue, white and silver.

I used a couple snowflake images and sentiment from Alley Way Stamps-they are available as free downloads on their site.

I resized both snowflakes to create my own patterned paper for the background-adding stickles to the centers. Then a bit of sewing, some embellishing with sheer ribbon and silver trim, glitter paper, rhinestones, a button, and I used a Spellbinders Picot Edge Circle die. Thanks so much for stopping by...come join the House of Cards challenge as we say goodbye to March and hello to April!

It's the ever popular "Anything Goes" over at Pinspirational Challenges this week for the 100th challenge. We've got some great sponsors, and they're all on Etsy- so go have a peek at their shops!

I'm using a super cute image from Heather Ellis on my card. I just love her sweet designs!

I used Copics to color her except for the dress, which is paper pieced, and I used red Stickles on her shoes and the tiny heart on her dress. I also colored the pearls with Copics to match.

This pretty brad came from Bo Bunny- I just love the colors!

Welcome to Eureka Stamps Challenge #82! This week's theme is anything but a square card. At first I wasn't sure what I was going to do for this one, but once I got going I had a lot of fun putting it together. I started with this free tree shaped card template from Cuddly Buddly.

I used a cloud punch and some Distress paint and inks for the tree.

Prismacolor watercolor pencils for the apples and Copics on this cute bird from Eureka: Sm Bird Pecking

Here's the inside- I thought this sentiment was just perfect for a fruit tree.

His Fruits also from Eureka.

Come on over to the Eureka blog and show us your shaped cards this week! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's creations and visiting your blogs.
