Easter Love

Hello sweet friends! It has been a tough week and I apologize for my delayed visits. I will be leaving you sparkly bloggie love this weekend. ♥︎

I'm up on the Live & Love Crafts blog today, where Sandy has us playing with green. I used my favorite green papers from Pion's Easter Greetings. (I cannot stop using this collection.) This Easter card is for a mother in need of extra love. ♥︎

For my little scene, I made a pretty Easter egg hanging from a vine of colorful blossoms. The egg and its doily base are files from the Silhouette Online Store, while my greenery is Cheery Lynn Design's Mini Fanciful Flourishes. The whimsical leafy design for my background is the reverse of the Daffodil sheet. The base is the beautiful Lily of the Valley, which I covered up more than intended but still makes for a sweet border.

For the Easter egg, I layered darling green and pink polka dot papers and topped it with tiny arrangements. The greeting is from the Borders sheet, which I cut with a Spellbinders Nested Lacy Pennant. A bow of Shabby Seam Binding ruffles from the top, pairing with Sunflower Pearls for my hanger. The gorgeous Lace Heart Appliqué provides Easter love, which is adorned with another shabby bow and a sweet two-tone rose.

Yet again a Prima Mulberry Butterfly has landed atop one of my projects. ♥︎ They are so lovely and each pack contains a wonderful variety. For extra floral delight I set it atop a doily blossoming with two-tone Ivory/Pale Pink roses. The soft pink accents don't shop up well in my pictures, but they are my new favorite rose.

Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a beautiful weekend. ♥︎

Just for You

Happy Friday, sweet friends! I hope you're having a blessed day. I'm posting on the Live & Love Crafts blog, sharing a wintry creation. One of my favorite aspects of Pion Design papers is that they are timeless. I went back to Pion's older Days of Winter collection, as this beautiful image was calling me.♥︎

The vintage image is from Lilly and Siri, as are the solid pink and purple striped papers. The lovely snowflake paper is from the Silent Night collection, which unfortunately has been discontinued. Sandy still has a few left if you'd like to scoop it up. Ruffly, pearly, and sparkly trims abound.

I made a sweet pair of skates to hang from pearl string and nestled the My Craft Spot sentiment within a Melissa Frances resin frame.  The skates are a cut file from Forever Memories for You, of which I intend to make a large version eventually. The flowers are sprinkled with Glamour Dust, as is the frame. A few more of Sandy's pearl goodies are incorporated throughout, which you'll find listed below. :o)

This will soon be off to another heartbroken mother to remind her that she is dearly loved and never alone. It is merely a card, but I pray it delivers light to her darkened heart.  ♥︎

Dies used: Joy! Crafts Frame & 3 Corners, along with matching Border; Tattered Lace Beloved Borders atop vintage image; Cheery Lynn Designs Snowflakes.

Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful weekend. ♥︎
