Play Date Cafe #73 - Easter Blessings

March 20, 2011

Julie's colors over at the Play Date Cafe just drew me in.  I HAD to find time to play along with the challenge.
Take a look...
Aren't these gorgeous?!?  And...you know what?  I challenged myself to make a one layer card.  I almost never do that.  Seriously.  I love to embellish.  I love to layer.  But...I restrained myself...lol.
 * Edit - I found a sweet challenge today (3/23) at Simplicity.  Susan has a great blog...and my card fit right into her One Layer Wednesday challenge.  She's challenging us to use eggs on our card!

Here's my card ~

    * To get a better look at the details of the card, just click on a photo to see a larger version. *
I used Stampin' Up! Naturals White card stock for my card.  I love the look of this cs for something "nature" related.  It's such a soft white, with those natural flecks of color in it.
I used the eggs stamp from the Nature Walk set - love this set!  I used peach parfait, rose red and perfect plum SU markers to color my stamp.  Then used my stamp-a-ma-jig to place the eggs exactly where I wanted them.  I used an elegant eggplant marker to draw the border around the eggs.  Then used a Stardust clear glitter pen to draw lines inside and outside of the eggplant border.  I know ~ it's difficult to see.  I had so much trouble getting good photos of my card...the weather is so gloomy this afternoon.  Oh, I almost forgot...I stamped the sentiment in eggplant, too.  The sentiment is from the Abundant Hope set, by SU.

I would be so interested to hear what you think of my "rare" one-layer card.  I'm rather pleased with it, I think.  It's growing on me  :o)

Thanks so much for stopping in!
