Hello! I hope you're having a beautiful week so far. I certainly have. It's Spring Break for my little girl here and we headed off to go visit my parents and my brothers and their families. It was such a welcome treat. Sure missed my Texas brother and his sweet little family though.
So the next few days will be catch up days, days for tidying up, clearing out the winter dust, and feathering the little nest we call home. With Springtime upon us, I have a card perfectly suited for this time of year, created for Emma's Paperie. We were challenged to incorporate watercoloring into our projects this month and so I pulled out my stamps, white embossing powder, and my Gelatos to create a watercolor background for this card.
I used Basic Grey, Prima, Bo Bunny Press, and Webster's Pages...I love the sentiment on this card. All of the supplies used can be found HERE at Emma's Paperie.
Continuing on with the watercolor theme or look, this card was created for Basic Grey using some fun Hero Arts stamps and masks.
I used a mask for my background and after securing it to a block of white cardstock, I applied a couple of different colors of spray mist from Studio Calico, and then added a bit of stamping and smudging using my Gelatos once again.
You can find more projects on the Basic Grey blog and read all about the fun giveaway there!
The new OHDEERME Embellishment kit is now available at Freckled Fawn. Here's a peek at what's inside. So much fun waiting to be had. I know I've been enjoying my kit and will have projects to share with you soon.
This is such a special weekend. Easter weekend, the time we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. And to top that off, General Conference weekend, my most favorite occasion. If your heart needs some cheering, or you are troubled in any way, I encourage you to tune in and let your heart be light.
Happy Easter!
Melissa
Beautiful cards, Melis! I love the watercolor effect. I am trying it myself but haven't found it easy to do! Sending you and your family Happy Easter wishes!

Thank you for that lovely quote and the assurance that Heavenly Father is concerned for all of our heatfelt desires. My beloved cat was quite ill and struggled to breathe and on his last night before we were to take him to be put to sleep I asked God to let him have a night of comfort. He immediately quit wheezing and was able to sleep. Our gracious Lord is over all.
