More Easter Cards

Started my card for PTI CAWU a few days ago & finally finished it up today.  I was immediately drawn to Heather's card on Day 4 of the release as I loved the layered striped kraft die cut frames.  It made me think of the stripes in the Mix & Mat: Flourishes die set. 

I used a scrap of kraft cardstock & cut it as usual.  Then I used another scrap & cut it again.  In order to layer the pieces for a crossed pattern, I had to extend the cutting of the second piece--just a little tricky, but it worked.  The images & sentiment are from Corner Adorner: February.  The inks are PTI Scarlet Jewel, Prairie Grass & Honey Nut, with Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate for the sentiment.  Think it might have been better not to do a shadow for the sentiment, but too late now.  The card & Corner Adorner die cuts are Vintage Cream cardstock.  Gold Pico Embellisher was used for the flower center & I'll put an Easter sentiment inside.  I'm also entering The Snippets Playground, SSS Monday & SSS National Craft Month.

Today I saw the sketch for FMS & immediately thought of the Stamplorations set called Boxed Blooms and Bold Sentiments.  I chose the lily image, turned it 90 degrees & heat embossed with Liquid Platinum. 

The coloring was done with pink, green & yellow Zigs.  A waterbrush was used for blending.  The sentiment from a company out of business was stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia.  I matted the panel with pink cardstock & decided to keep it very CAS with no splatters or embellishments.  I'm also entering Stamplorations Theme & Sketch, Stamplorations  Never-Ending Anything Goes & HLS Watercolor challenge.  Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
