My vacation with my
BFF is over today and I'm headed home. :(
I really lucked out with the weather in Calgary though...it was beautiful the entire week, which was both good and bad. Good because we were out and about doing things, seeing people, taking day trips...bad because we really didn't do much stamping at all. We only spent one afternoon in the stamp room and I created this Easter card.
I used Taylor's Sketch Challenge,
TESC104, for the layout and reached for my
Favourite Peeps stamp set, along with my
Easter Key Ingredients.
The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White and coloured with
copic markers. I added a little shimmer with my
Stardust pen then coated the basket with my clear Glaze pen to give it some shine. The patterned papers are from the
Basic Grey Kioshi line (included in the Easter Key Ingredients). My center panel ended up larger than I originally thought it would be so my card doesn't really follow the sketch but that's ok...sketches are for inspiration, right?!? I added a gorgeous flower from the
Kioshi Bloomers pack to finish my card.
One of our day trips was to Banff. I'd never been there so it was a real treat to get up close and personal with the majestic Rocky Mountains. Here are a couple of photos...
Thanks for stopping by!
