This is my second post for today. Please scroll down one more post
for a masculine birthday card, plus a bonus feminine version.
I didn't make Easter cards this year, just the one you see below. I'm really hit-or-miss with my holiday cards. Some years I send, others not. It all depends on what's going on with me at that particular time. Know what I mean?
Here's a sketch from Cardabilities...
...combined with challenges from:
- CARDS: create - Easter card challenge
- Aud Sentiments - use "Happy Easter" on your card (can I use "Easter Wishes"?)
This is pretty simple, really. I took all my patterned papers from a Lost & Found Madison Avenue stack, and used a couple of Stampin' Up! stamps together for the label.
I tried my hand at Liquid Pearls on two of these die cuts; I need more practice making them look just like pearls. Some are a little too 'oval-ish'. ;)
Sorry to pound you with two posts today. Because I am playing in challenges, I need to upload in time for the deadlines. Thanks for understanding!

Oh wonderful job with the sketch!
Love how you used the sketch, Colleen. The sentiment panel is lovely with the frame around the script.
This is beautiful and I think your liquid pearls are fabulous.
Silly, there is no perfect pearl - take fresh water pearls - they are the most fun and irregular. So, don't let anyone tell you yours aren't perfect! Love the card!

I'm thinking perfection of liquid pearls is a project unto itself!!!! Gorgeous card!!!
Very pretty, Colleen! I love the pearls and the lace!
what a beautiful Easter card...love all the layers...
Such a sweet card! I love all the elements you've used...beautifully composed! :)
Looks lovely my friend.. Your interpretation of the sketch looks great.

What a simply stunning card! I love the soft colors and the pearls are a beautiful touch! So glad you joined us at Aud Sentiments - Happy Easter!
Beautiful! I love the background paper and the way you combined the stamps on the sentiment! Thanks for joining us at Cardabilities.
Love your sentiment tag...so elegant! I have had some of those liquid pearls for months and never tried them. I can never remember...maybe this will jolt my memory the next time I need some.
Super card, Colleen!
I love the different shapes. They make a very interesting card. I have that frame stamp and keep forgetting about it. I need to pull it out.
So beautifully vintage and wonderful! Great newsprint background and the striped panel really caught my eye. Marvelous!
