This card is for the third sketch in this month’s Mojo Monday using the colors from the Sunday Stamps Challenge.
First, here’s my card:

My First Thoughts
Once I decided on the sketch layout, I had to then to decide which colors to use. Honestly, the last thing I thought of when I saw the color challenge was creating an Easter card. What a completely wrong thought! Turns out that I am in love with the color combination that I used of Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie, and Granny Apple Green. I colored the bunny using the Crumb Cake blends combo.
Since this layout, 6 x 6 color family DSP sets, these colors and the adorable bunny look so stinking cute, I am quite certain I’ve found my Easter card for my nieces and nephews. I’ve already created cards for my great nieces and soon-to-be great nephew.
Finishing Touches
The Subtle 3D embossing folder created just enough texture for this card, especially with the patterns of DSP.
Can you tell what I used for the Pumpkin Pie heart? If you guessed the detailed hearts die, you would be correct.
The bunny circle is popped up on dimensionals. I wanted the sentiment to be raised as well, but not as much as the dimensionals would have given. Therefore, I pulled out three half inch glue dots. Those suckers will give about half as much height as a dimensional, which is what I wanted.
I kept looking at the pieces when I was dry-fitting them together trying to figure out what was missing. Then it dawned on me: the two pieces of DSP, the bunny, and the sentiment block makes 4 elements on the card. I needed to add something else, but what? When I finally thought of using this detailed border die from the Painted Labels die set I realized using a piece of Pumpkin Pie DSP would finish the card off.
After adding a piece of the Granny Apple Green to the flap of the envelope, this card set was complete. I hope you think it is as cute as I do.

Sale-a-Bration’s Third Release started today!
Again, thank you very much for stopping by my blog today!
I was introduced to a new challenge in my upline’s upline group, and I am so happy to have found this one! One more to add to the ones with which I play along.
This card was truly an easy-peasy card. To be perfectly honest, I was not impressed with this DSP when I first daw the mini-catalog. I’ve seen cards made with this DSP, but still thought I most probably wouldn’t get it. That all changed when I got my hands on some of this in person. I’d ordered the 6 x 6 DSP sampler/mini-trimmer combination and this floral pattern was in the sampler. Simply beautiful!! Gorgeous!! The green patterned DSP is also from the Tropical Oasis DSP.
I am so happy that I chose to highlight both patterns of this DSP with Real Red as the base and the swirl backing the sentiment. To make sure that the DSP would really pop off the green DSP, I outlined it with my Real Red stamping marker. This outline really helps to separate the green edges on the floral pattern from the background. I chose to outline the green DSP with Old Olive stamping marker. Both pieces of the DSP just seem so finished with these outlines.
Once I cropped the swirl from the Painted Labels die set, I decided I needed something between the sentiment and the swirl. Therefore, I cropped out a scalloped circle from So Saffron. Then, I use the Real Red marker to outline the sentiment circle.
Finishing Up
Since this card was so easy to get planned out, the only element that required more thought than everything else combined was what ribbon to use. After playing around with some options, I decided that I wanted to keep a tropical, open feel to the card. So, I thought the best option would be to use the SAB FREE So Saffron and metallic bakers twine. This twine comes with a roll of Bermuda Bay/metallic twine and a container of Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, and So Saffron sequins. All FREE with a $50 purchase until the end of Sale-a-Bration! The idea for the way it’s tied is from Jackie Beers at Blue Line Stamping. Hop on over and see her beautiful creations!
Once I finished the card, I adhered a piece of the floral DSP to the envelope flap, and this coordinating set was done! Yeah!
