Amy Tollner uses the Fractured Card Layout die to create this sweet Easter card. The green gingham paper comes from the Pastel Basics paper pad. Her central element is one of the darling bunnies from the Hop Into Spring stamp and coordinating die set. A great use of the challenge colors!
Claire Lamb designs this darling CAS card using the little images from the Easter Postage Sampler stamp and die set. She places them on the stitched panel (Basic Frames die set). Using the zig-zag die from the Frames & Tags die, Claire pulls the green paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad for her background panel. She adds spring sentiment using the Spring Blooms Oval stamp set. Absolutely darling!
Crystal Minkler's use of yellow gingham and lavender heart papers (Pastel Basics paper pad) work wonderfully together. She aligns them on a Kraft card base. She then adds a Kraft scalloped-circle using the Circle Frames die set. At last, she adds her green vintage truck from the Spring Haul stamp and coordinating die set. Love all those pretty flowers in the truck's bed!
Debbie Owens uses the challengle card for a flowery Mother's Day card. She uses papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad for her background die cut using the scallop-edge die (Frames & Flags die set). She then uses the Oval Frames die set to create the oval panels. Those beautiful flowers are from the Spring Blooms Oval stamp set with a sentiment from the Best Mom Oval stamp set. She completes her card with the cute bunny from the Hop Into Spring stamp set. Darling!
Don't forget you have until May 2 to get creative with these colors!
