Christmas Angel for Merry Monday

We're back to Merry Monday again.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.

See if you can guess what this week's challenge is....


It's the amazing Lori's turn to choose our challenge this week.

She chose....



I have 2 angels in my stamp collection.

This one was already stamped and embossed in my 
Christmas UFO (UnFinished Objects) box.

The embossed frame was also a UFO.

Since I used some snippets, I'm off to

Indescribable Gift for Easter

I thought these flowers were so pretty and couldn't wait to 
color them.



I used the Pink Pirouette and Wild Wasabi Blendabilities to color them.

Our flowering trees are dressed up so pretty now
and when the wind blows, it looks like it's snowing flower petals.

The dogwood outside my kitchen window is starting to bloom.

Every day the flowers open a bit more.

I hope there's something pretty outside your window.

Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy!

Sponged and Stenciled

 I've used a couple of techniques on this card.




I used a leaf stencil that Loll had sent me.

This is not as CAS as some of my cards.  I hope it's not too busy.


I think this will work for the 


I've used stamping plus sponging and stenciling.
I sponged through the stencil and sponged the die cut iris.



We have enjoyed such a beautiful day today.
The leaves are popping out on the trees.
It's good to see green again.
And the flowering trees are so pretty.
I need to take my camera outside.


I'm so glad you stopped by to visit.

Enjoy!

Promise Me Tulips

I love tulips so when I saw this Penny Black stamp,
 it jumped to the top of my list.



I inked this beautiful stamp with Distress Markers and stamped 
onto the Whisper White card stock, then inked the sentiment the same way.

I've backed the design piece with a piece of Neena for added body
and popped it up on the card base.

I wish all my cards went together this easy!
