SPDSS23 - Happy Easter EGGS

Its SugarSketch Time at
SugarPea Designs with SugarSketch #23
 Sketches tend to scare me - I don't like clutter on my cards.
I like things clean and simple.  So to keep my card CAS and use this fun SPD sketch, I made the circle my focal image and sentiment, then kept the rest one color, in this case, white.
 
The easter eggs and sentiment are from the stamp set A Bushel & A Peck.
I masked them to stamp my pile of eggs just like I did in my flower tutorial HERE.  I used the SugarCuts Gift Tag die and SugarCuts Layered Treat Labels Die for my labels and small heart circle.
 
 
This card was also made for Lesley's
The Challenge One year Anniversary Celebration
Come play along, you could win a SugarPeas $20 GC
 
 
 
I am also playing in AAA Cards CAS Challenge

FS425 EGGcellent Friend

Today, I am playing in the
Featured Stamper Challenge at Splitcoaststampers
 Congratulations countrybeamer, this week's Featured Stamper.
I cased THIS soft and pretty card. 
My Differences: 
One Layer Card
Gold Cord
Colored Image
Scored Lines
 I used my stamp set I illustrated EGGcellent.
I masked off where I wanted the image then I stamped in the center, then stamped on the right and left to make it look like a continuous tree, I did mask off the sides a tiny bit so the trunks did not stamp on the sides.  If there were any gaps I just filled them in with a fine pen. Then I sponged just on the top and bottom giving an omber effect.  I wanted to keep it soft like my inspiration, so I colored the eggs and leaves with soft colors.
For the inside, I used another of my sets, Picking Daisies.
 
Supplies
Stamps: EGGcellent, Picking Daisies (A Jillian Vance Design), Paper: Recollections White 110# (Michaels)  Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black, Tuxedo Black (Memento), Copics: C1, C3, C5, R20, Y21, BG000, V000  Simply Chartreuse, Aqua Mist (Papertrey Ink)  Accessories: Tim Holtz blender tools, Scor-Pal, Martha Stewart Gold Cord, Post-It Notes  Techniques: Sponging, Scoring, Masking

SPD13 Mother's Day Flowers

New Theme Challenge at
 It's Spring and we are celebrating it with  the latest Theme Challenge.
I just love these flowers from A Bushel & A Peck that I masked and stamped a bunch to make this bright and happy Mother's Day tag.
 
 
 I popped up my flower panel on the SugarCuts Gift Tag
 First I stamped the flowers (I did this three times)
on a post-it note (the end that is sticky) then cut them out, these are my masks.
 I cut out my SugarCuts Gift Tag
then stamped the flowers at the bottom in the center.  I then placed a mask over the top them stamped on the sides.
 I placed two masks over the left side and stamped another set of flowers on the left side above the masks.
Then I used another mask to cover the flowers I just stamped.
And stamped another set on the right side.  You just repeat this process as you like.
I just added one more set of flowers in the center above the last two stamped then I cut them out, colored them and popped them on my pattern paper tag.

Birthday Daffodils

You won't believe this is a Digi!
 Marcella Hawley makes the most beautiful stamps.
Including her latest Digi Dancing With Daffodils.  Can you believe it is a digi?
I made this card for my Mom's birthday. I was sick on her birthday so this is belated.
 I tried a new technique to me from Power Poppy's Inspire Me Monday Depth With Burnishing.
I printed out two images. The second I cut out just the daffodils and snail, colored them, cut them out, used the depth with burnishing technique and popped it up!
I computer generated the inside and front sentiments.
 
I made this card for Power Poppy's Power & Spark Challenge
I used gold sequins
