Hello!! Hope your week is off to a good start! My boys are back in school and probably not happy about it, lol!! As my blog post title indicates I have a couple of cards to share. First up is one for the April Reverse Confetti Sketch For You To Try. I wanted to make this an Easter card, but I don't have the RC set Easter Blessings so I used a sentiment from Walk by Faith instead. The papers I used are from the Bo Bunny Believe line. I got some of the papers in a Simon Says Stamp card kit last year and I really like them. I got a little funky with this card, but I really like it. The cross is from Reverse Confetti and I die cut it from woodgrain cardstock. The little flower in the center is part of the die set and was cut from a scrap of the Believe papers. I added a little yellow enamel dot to the center. I distressed the edges of all the papers before layering everything up. The sentiment was heat embossed in black on vellum and then adhered to the cross.
The next card is for two challenges: Color Throwdown and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to make a birthday card. I started by trimming down some older My Mind's Eye green patterned paper into an angled piece and adhering it directly to a light blue cardstock base. The rectangles were die cut from woodgrain cardstock using the MFT Inside Out Stitched Rounded Rectangles and adhered to the card base. I stamped the butterfly from Beautiful Butterflies in MFT Daffodil ink and then layered the red (PTI Pure Poppy) on top with the matching detail stamp. I die cut the butterfly with the matching die and then added Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard to the body and little dots to the wings. Once that was dry I adhered it to the rectangle. The sentiment (from AJVD) was embossed in black on vellum, trimmed down and adhered. 
Wishing you a wonderful day...
