So, to celebrate I have a card to show you and a little give away too....keep reading.
A little something for Easter :). I thought this would make a lovely Eastery card, or you could even make it into a table place card for Easter Dinner. I think that would be really pretty don't you? I love the new set from Flourishes - Easter Wishes stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black on Flourishes Classic White. This beautiful egg is so pretty. The kids and I love to colour up Easter eggs every Easter, so just like the Easter dye, I gave it some vibrant colour with my copics. I also cut out the shape with the Silhouette Cut file to match from the store.
I created the easel fold with this pretty Spellbinder's die, some fun Echo Park paper, and this pretty Tiger Lily Cardstock from our Color Made Easy Line. Then for accent I added a couple of Color Made Easy seambinding bows and flouncy ribbon.
Just a little shot of the inside of the easel fold with some rhinestone accents.
NOW for the giveaway! Just to say thank you for coming by and celebrating with me all of these half a million times :)
I'm giving away two gorgeous Flourishes sets!

Wow, Christine! Congratulations...doing a happy dance in your honor! The card is absolutely stunning! And the stamps? awesome. i need them for all occasions! Thanks for the great giveaway
ReplyDeleteGood Morning:
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing! Twenty years ago we would not have been able to accomplish this!
Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your creations it gives inspiration to all of us. What is so remarkable is that you do not have a dedicated stamping room like so many of us and have to transport your supplies. I would give up after the 10th trip.
Now on to another million hits!
