happy easter

Hello! Still playing with the quality of the light in my new light box.......

I made this card for the JUGS sketch challenge below. I got this great dp and stamp set from Papertrey Ink last Easter and I'm having so much fun using it again. I matted my layers and cut out the circle and scallop edge with Spellbinder's dies. I sponged the inside of the circle to soften the white circle. The eggs are popped up in three layers and I added pearls to the scalloped edge. What a fun sketch to play with!

Hello! I have to give a shout out today to one of my favorite blogs. Melissa Phillips' blog, LilyBean's Paperie, is a source of much inspiration for me. I enjoy and appreciate her words and her projects. Today's card was inspired by Melissa Phillips' challenge. She chose an awesome photo inspiration that you can see here. The colors are beautiful, but not my typical palette. I enjoyed playing with them, though, and I'm happy with the result.
