Thursday Challenge - CCMC810

Today's Thursday challenge are the colors Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, and Soft Sea Foam - such pretty Spring colors! I thought they would be lovely for someone celebrating a Spring birthday, so I grabbed the Filled With Fun bundle (an Online Exclusive) and started playing. I love my job!

My original plan was to make a little red wagon like I had when I was a kid, but the color clashed with the pastels. Then I tried Pecan Pie, and it was still too dark, so next was Smoky Slate and it was just right.

The embossed background is from the Fun Patterns embossing folders, which are also Online Exclusives. I like the little bit of texture it added. That piece measures 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" and is mounted on a 3 5/16" x 4 1/4" Lemon Lolly mat. I colored and fussy cut an extra bow and popped it up on the gift for more dimension.

The confetti was stamped on the sides with Soft Sea Foam ink for a little more pizzazz, and Bubble Bath "hubcaps" were added to the wagon wheels. 😉

CCM Saturday Blog Hop - Easter Parade

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Hop theme is Easter Parade. Easter comes early this year - just over two weeks from today!

I still have Easter Bunny from the annual catalog, but I wanted to play with Excellent Eggs from the mini. This was one of the cards we made in the monthly stamp club last Saturday.

The Lighter Than Air DSP works so well for pastel Spring colors! The Fresh Freesia egg is one of the patterns in that pack, as is the striped pastel rainbow background. Sure made for a quick and easy card!

Isn't that bunny adorable? I had first thought of making it a chocolate bunny, but the details would have been lost in a darker brown color.

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori at Loritamarie Crafts.

Thursday Challenge - CCMC809

This week's Thursday challenge is a sketch, and since I'm still loving the whole Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection, my card features four items in that suite. Unfortunately the Shiny Sequins aren't available at this time. The estimated back in stock date is April 29, but everything else is currently available!

I started by embossing the background with the Zinnia 3D embossing folder and very lightly blending Berry Burst on a few of the flowers. Next the full flower (two dies) and half-open flowers were cut from Berry Burst, the zinnia center from Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie, and the stem/leaves from Parakeet Party.*

Two of the half-open flowers were glued behind the 2 3/4" x 4" Flowering Zinnias DSP before it was adhered to the card. The greeting was stamped on 1/2" x 4 1/2" Basic White and popped up. The full zinnia was also popped up and Shiny Sequins were added to finish the card.

*Are you aware that Parakeet Party is one of the In Colors that is retiring next month? The retiring In Colors always seem to sell out before the catalog ends, so if you liked any of them, make sure you get them while you can!
