I think my favorite color at the moment is aqua. Plus, I love it for Easter cards. I colored my lilies in a soft yellow and that, to me, looks good with the aqua.
First, before we get to my card, we have three new DT members joining us next week at Friends of Speedy TV.
They are:
Barbara Colbert
Davi Reed
Tammylee Newberry
This week, the Friends of Speedy TV (FOSTV) challenge found at the Home of Speedy TV is to make an Easter card. I needed a few so I was glad to see that challenge. I used a Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company stamp set called Blessings for stamping my lily.
If you join the challenge this week and win, you'll receive this wonderful stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Co. called Pussy Willows.
My card is made using cardstock from Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company Aqua Light premium cover card stock.
My aqua frame in the background is a Cheery Lynn Designs A2 frame (small window) die. I used three of the negative pieces that fell away after I ran it through the machine to put under my sentiment and place some adhesives gems on top of them.
The corners are Spellbinders Shapeabilities Pendants-Contemporary Hearts.
The right side of my image is a PoppyStamps ivy tendrils and on the left side I used pieces cut from a Memory Box Madera Corner die. At the bottom of the card is part of a Cheery Lynn Designs Victorian Romance Flourish peeking out. I sometimes just like to use bits and pieces of dies where something is needed and the complete die won't work.
The card is finished off with blue pearls and Recollections floral embellishments (Flowers).
