Here's my creation for this week's challenge:

For this card I used cream coloured cardstock and layered this with paper from the K and Company's MxKenna 12 x 12 paper pad, as well as a strip of burlap from ebay, crochet lace from Wild Orchid Crafts and a tea doily from Dovecraft (though this is hidden because of the image! Ooops!) The image is from our sponsor at Ppare Pretties called Easter Eve and this was coloured in using Promarkers (Satin, Cool Grey 4, Black, Cinnamon, Forest Green, Bright Orange and Sunflower) The added embellishments are Curly Roses and Green leaves from Wild Orchid Crafts to tie in the with the colours of the easter eggs in the Pins image for this week! Plus a little colour goes a long way!

Easter! @ Aud Sentiments :)

With all this Winter-y weather in the UK, I'm left wondering whether we'll get any warmer weather! I hope so! :) So for some inspired, hopefully up and coming Easter and Springtime weather, we've got the start of our new fortnightly challenge at Aud Sentiments - and we want to see...

An Easter Sentiments on your projects :)

Our sponsor for this fortnight is: Prairie Fairy

 

Here's a little info too:

"I am a small town girl with a passion for all things creative. I have been a creator since childhood, doodling like crazy, building forts and climbing trees. I have always loved anything magical and sparkly, though oddly enough I don't sparkle myself up much! Through the years I have tried my hand at many things. I have always believed that if I really wanted to do something, I could or I would figure out how to. Can't is not really a word in my vocabulary. My favorite saying is "I am willing to try anything at least once, though sometimes I am sorry I tried it!" I love teaching and sharing what I have learned along the way. I resisted the computer for years until a friend introduced me to blogging. Not long after digital stamping started to make a splash in blog land and I jumped on the boat. I spent a good year learning all about everything digital and now here I am."

Here's my creation below:

I used caramel cardstock as a base for my tag, and layered this with paper from First Paper Edition's 8 x 8 Rose Garden pad. The doily and circle die cut is from X-Cut's Vintage Doily die and Spellbinders Eyelet Circle nestabilities, die cut from green card and funnily enough First Paper Edition's Stocking Filler Christmas 6 x 6 papers! The crochet lace at the bottom is from Wild Orchid Crafts and the 'Easter' sentiment was made using the Papermania Scrabble tiles.
