Here is my card which I hope is quite simple. I used Brushed Gold paper as a base then used Shimmery White paper which I ran thru the Cuttlebug folder called houndstooth. I applied Champagne Gold paint over the background. Then I cut out 3 sizes of Nested Eggs from Spellbinders using Brushed Gold cardstock and the Shimmery White cardstock as shown. I cut the 3 different eggs in three, ran it thru 3 different Cuttlebug folders; Swiss Dots, Swirled and Houndstooth again using gold and white paper. Applied the shimmery paint to each egg. Applied gold netting from Maya Arts then laid the biggest egg down with 2 sided tape then the second one using foam tape and the third using foam dots. Stamped saying from Our Daily Bread Designs called Daffodil Tag on shimmery white paper using black pigment ink and emboss using black EP. Cut it out and embossed using the Fancy tags 3 from Spellbinders. Applied shimmery paint to the embossed edge of the die.

Happy Easter !!

Happy Easter Everyone, I hope that everyone has a beautiful Easter with friends and family. I will be heading over to my Aunt's house to celebrate Easter with Family. I'm bringing dessert which I'm really glad I made two because my dog decided to lick her approval on one of the pecan pies. I don't think that would have gone over too well with the family. So here is an Easter card that I did using Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies plus I used some Biblical sayings  from Our Daily Bread Designs as well. Hope You have a Great Easter!!

I didn't win

Well I didn't win a position on the Heartfelt Creations Design Team. So here is the 2nd card and the inside.

The red cardinal was stamped twice and colored with Copic markers and then pop up using foam dots. What do you think?

Waiting is almost over.....

The waiting is almost over... tomorrow is the day that the Heartfelt Creations Design Team will be announced. I'm really anxious about this is because it's my first time I tried out for a design team and I tend question my ability lots. Another sad note about this week for me is that it's my 3 year anniversary on Saturday when I loss my husband to Cancer. So I'm hoping that I will have some very exciting news to tell you about! Please keep your fingers cross for me and I will show you my  cards that I sent down to be judged.

 Here is Card #1 plus the inside of the card.

Tomorrow I will show you Card #2.
