I got some crafty time in on Friday - so I thought I'd write up this post before leaving for Florida! This is such a soft color palette for me, but I was following the
Lily Pad Palette Challenge. These colors inspired me to make another Easter card. I set out to find a sketch and came across
The Craft's Meow March Sketch - and even though I don't have their stamps, I could still enter it! Yah!
Here are a few shots of the card:
When I first saw the sketch on the Feline Creative blog, I interpreted it differently than when I saw it on the Craft's Meow site! So, I ended up cutting 1" off the right side of the card for the banner to hang off of. I embossed the banner with a PTI impression plate. I colored the PTI image in with my prisma pencils and used their sentiment as well. I added some shimmery dots to the Nestie oval and used my Cuttlebug embossing folder for the inside panel.
So not too bad for a last minute card!!!
Here's the sketch I followed:
And here's the color palette:
Have a wonderful week! I've got my iPad with me - so should be able to make my blog visits :)
Thanks for your visit!
