Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Today I have two Easter cards that were made from leftover pieces.
The Easter egg was done so long ago that I can't remember how I did it. Probably
I smooshed it into a bit of leftover ink. The paper is textured and shiny and I
have no idea where it came from. It makes a pretty Easter egg though.
The crocus bud was also a leftover. I die cut another crocus from the set and
sponged a bit of ink on the pieces, then touched it with a slightly damp waterbrush.
I had a snippet of the shiny textured cardstock to stamp the sentiment on.
After I die cut it, I added a bit of leftover color on the waterbrush to the label
to make it blend in.
Another card with an assortments of leftovers.
The tulips were laying on the table as well as the notched corner die cut.
I embossed the dark card in the background but my camera is not seeing it.
I stacked two Easter die cuts and added to the front.

Two beautiful Easter cards with those lovely flowers. Love the colors. The shiny egg is a perfect background for the crocuses. Those WF tulips are so pretty.
You've put those leftovers into two fantastic Easter cards, Bonnie. The dark purple crocus stands out against that speckled egg and both are great symbols of Easter. The burgundy background for the tulips adds a lot of drama to that card.
Both of these cards show that there's nothing bad about leftovers Bonnie...they are both absolutely beautiful!! Your shiny speckled egg is the perfect spot to showcase your lovely Crocuses, and your tulip card is just as gorgeous! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Beautiful flower color - you achieve such depth of color.

So pretty, love the colours too xx
Wherever the egg and the leftover bits and pieces came from doesn't' matter because you put them to good use! These are both wonderful, Bonnie!
You put to fabulous use all those pieces laying around! I love those crocus on the pretty egg, and the tulips are so charming! Happy Easter, Bonnie!
Two perfect Easter cards, Bonnie - bulbs and the colour purple always say Easter and spring to me!
Bonnie these two cards are stunning - and so beautifully made. I think the second one is my favourite, by a whisker

Both are beautiful, Bonnie! I wish I could see the shine in the first card, but I also know how shimmer hides from most cameras. The second is just WOW -- makes my jaw drop. Love the contrasts in the second card too
You have the prettiest card parts, Bonnie! Best crocus dies ever, and the tulips are gorgeous! Love how the background sets off the tulips. Darned camera. It's hard to show embossing on dark cardstock. I have some of that semi-gloss textured white paper and have used most of it. It's been a favorite. Thanks for sharing your spring flowers with us at Double D!
Beautiful cards! Love your pretty posies and the shades of purple....so Springy! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Double D, Springtime Flowers Challenge. Donna, DT Member.
Two wonderful cards with leftovers. I love leftovers! You always seem to pull them all together perfectly and they're meant to be.
Spring flowers bring joy and sunshine into our lives. Your crocuses look very realistic. Two beautiful cards, and the purple color perfectly matches Easter.
