Crafty Gals Corner - Easter/Spring 2020

Hello, all you wonderful crafters out there! I hope that this finds you happy and in good health!  So today is the beginning of a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog!  And the theme for this challenge is: 
Easter / Spring 

Our awesome sponsors for this challenge are:

Now here is my card. I'm using Bella Easter Egg Bunny. She is such a little cutie!

So I started out with a base card foundation of  8 1/2" x 5 1/2", then folded in half at the center of the 8 1/2" side. I then layered paper from the Celebrate Today paper pack. (via my website at 

https://jeanieellis.closetomyheart.com/.  The double sided paper makes it a great way to coordinate papers without having to search. The next mounting sheet was 4" x 5 1/4", then the top layer 3 3/4" x 5". I added a leftover strip from the paper pack on the left side and then stamped the sentiment from the Happy Easter stamp set.  Lastly, I layered on top the cute image. 

I colored the image using my Real Brush Arteza set. It was my first time using those, so I suggest you practice with these brushes first, as there is a learning curve. But I really like them! I used my ATG tape runner to adhere everything.

I hope that you are inspired by my card, and that you will join in on our challenge! 

Thank you for stopping by! Stay safe!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #171 - Tropical Colors!

Hello, ladies and hopefully, some gents too! We are starting our first challenge for the month of August with some amazing sponsors! This time, the theme is: TROPICAL COLORS! Here are our sponsors:

Our sponsors this week are:

SheepSki Designs

Prize: 3 Digital Images

All Dressed Up

Prize: 2 Digital Images

Creative Bug on the Loose

Prize ~ 5 Digital images

Wow! It was so hard to pick one image to do for this challenge, as all 3 sponsors are fantastic! But in the end, I have chosen to do Beach Baby by Creative Bug.  What a cute title for a cute little image. So here is my card:

There it is, in all it's Tropical colors glory! Lol! I'd say there are plenty of them on there, wouldn't you? I added some diamond glass glitter on the sand to make it more "sandy" looking, but the picture here doesn't show that. However, the shadowing on the sand from the artist, made it look sandy. So...it was all good! I did use Bone China Ink Oxide for the cloudy background. 

I hope that you will  join us for this challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog! See you there!

Spring Fairy - Digi Stamps 4 Joy

For this card, I used my Prismacolors. I have been trying to use my color markers more often, so I can practice using them. But for this card, I felt the colored pencils were more of what I needed. :)

I added pearls to the left side and ribbon on the right side. As you can see, I used plenty of buttons! Both the flowers and the leaves are actually buttons! Aren't they cute?? And for the life of me, I can't remember where I got them! But they were so perfect for this card!

Again, be sure to check out the challenge! I do hope you'll join us! And thanks for stopping by!!
