This is for three challenges:
The Twisted Sistah Challenge is to make a bg using Saran Wrap or paper and and an ink pad. I used Marina Mist. I like the way it turned out. I used a Wal-Mart bag. We were to use a border punch. Mine is from MS.
The next challenge is the Queen for the Day. Queen Melina has a gorgeous gallery. I had a hard time deciding which card to case. I used the same stamp but used a different color I popped my second layer up. I also used a glitter brad in the center. Then I made flowers using the MS hydrangea punches and the MS punch. I punched the ferns in Vanilla and just tapped them with the sponge using the Marina Mist. I put Ranger Liquid Pearls in the centers. They have reformulated these so they dry round like a pearl and they don't have a tail sticking up. On top of my border I put Vanilla seam binding. I made a bow but it looked better w/o it. Then I added my sentiment from Easter Blessings.
Third is the Free For All Challenge. It is to make a Monochromatic card.
This was fun to make. It took me about four hours because hubby is home and working on our deck and I keep getting called out for help!
