Easter Card on Passover?

Happy Passover!  This is not my Seder night, as my husband is out of town until tomorrow, and that is when my son and daughter will come for dinner too, so I quietly blessed and ate my matzah and went on with my evening.  I knew I needed a card for my mother in law, and I was absolutely in love with this image (cutest bunny ever!), so...

 
The image is from Sliekje, of course, printed on poison ivory iridescent paper from the PaperTemptress. The patterned papers are from an old CTMH set, Victorian Elegance, and so is the copper cardstock and copper brads.  The sentiment is from TAC, so you can see I don't really have any brand loyalty to anyone.  I just buy what I like.

Birthstone Birthday

Captivated by another Sliekje digi, I decide to combine this image with the Saturday Spotlight challenge to use my birthstone color in a birthday card. Since opals can range from pink to a deep blue-green with an iridescent rainbow of colors within, I wasn't sure how to proceed, so I just followed the mouse.



Lots of pink, and a little of the blue-green, and although it doesn't show here, the background paper is spritzed with a mica spray giving it an iridescent sparkle. I have the Faux Stitching, Spritz and Shimmer, and Out of the Box Technique Junkie techniques going on in this card, too.

The Sunflowers and Dragonflies challenge this week is teal, artichoke, and pomegranite - I think I'm pretty close.

Now, here's the hard question - do you think I can give this card to anyone over 3 years old?

Birthday kittens

I had nearly given up on digital stamps, because I don't find images that inspire me very often, but when I found Sliekje's DigiStamps, they were just so charming that my cute muse came to visit. Angelique draws the most adorable kittens and mice I have ever seen! I as soon as I saw this image on her blog, I knew I had to make a card with it.



The paper is from The Angel Company, and the felt flowers and bling are dollar bin buys. I colored this in the very strange but effective technique of watercolor pencils blended with a Dove blender (I know how stupid that sounds, but it works). You can't see it, but there is a tiny bit of sparkle from a stardust pen. This is completed just in time for the Gingersnap Creations birthday challenge.
