Nature Walk

Sometimes simple turns out to be beautiful! This card came together in minutes. Nothing fancy, just some stamps and my Big Shot. The flower stamp is from Nature Walk. I used markers on the rubber- pear pizzazz, daffodil delight, rose red, and tempting turquoise. The white card base is embossed with the dotted folder. I used the scallop trim border on daffodil cardstock, and tied it with daffodil striped ribbon. I didn't do a fat bow because that makes it so hard to mail. This one fits in an envelope. I did add three tiny butterflies from the beautiful wings embosslits die.I added a tiny pearl to each one. The inside is also really pretty. I just stamped the flowers again. The saying comes from All Holidays.

Bird Punch Rose Buds

This is a WOW card! I am so happy I have the bird punch. I cut the buds and the bud covers from the bird's  wing out of regal rose and garden green. I sponged the edges of all six pieces. Cutting the V out of the green is easier if you lay it on the pink and draw the V where you want it. Clip the V, attach it to the pink, then trim off the bottom right edge just a hair to get rid of the roundness. I punched four leaves, too. The buds are attached with dimensionals. The base is rose, then a layer of garden green, then a layer of very vanilla. The vanilla layer was just big enough to fit in the tulip folder without any fancy tricks. I sponged the edges in green but that wasn't quite enough. I sponged over the tulips, too. I covered the inside of the vanilla so I didn't get ink where I didn't want it. Easter Wishes came from All Holidays. I used vanilla satin ribbon and tied the bow with a circle brad.
