Monday Morning Five-in-One!

Good Morning (almost afternoon)!

What have you done today?  I've been busy doing laundry and trying to get rid of this sore throat I woke up with this morning...and crafting, of course. :)

I can't believe I was able to combine five - count 'em, FIVE - challenges with this fun springy card:
  • Paper Sundaes asked us to create a multi-fold card with an Easter/Spring Theme.  I love making Easel Cards so that's what I decided to do.
  • And, last but not least, another fabulous sketch from Julee over Mojo Monday:

And here's what I created with all those challenges rolling around in my brain:


Recipe- Stamps: Live Simple (Hero Arts)  Paper: Whisper White, Sage Shadow, Certainly Celery, Blush Blossom, Barely Banana, SU! DP (various)  Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Certainly Celery, Barely Banana  Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, adhesive pearls, Barely Banana grosgrain ribbon, twine, Copics, Divine Swirls EF, button, paper piercer, clear embossing powder


I realize that I didn't position the pearls like Julee has in the sketch...whatever!  LOL  I had fun with this card- I got to use colors I don't normally use and a stamp set that hasn't seen ink for a LONG time!

If you have time, stop over at The Curtain Call for this week's color challenge and The Shabby Tea Room for our very first weekly challenge!  And don't forget about the Design Team call Megan has going on over at Picture Perfect Creations Color Challenge.

Enjoy your Monday!
