Hello, and welcome!
Everybody in the Secret Pals forum on Paper Craft Planet seems to be obsessed with all things chocolate, and I'm really cravin' some......milk, dark, white, flavoured.....anything will do.....but a HUGE Easter egg would be very welcome, right now!
Not even a choc chip cookie in the house....and it's Sunday, and we don't spend money on Sunday.....so I'm havin' serious withdrawals, here..........Boy!....sound like an addict, but I actually probably only have chocolate maybe once a week......unless I can snag a bite of something the grandkids are scoffin', lol!
It's Hannah's actual birthday***HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPANNER***...and we always get the family together, on a birthday, for cake and hugs.....and I'm hopin' the cake will have some element of CHOCOLATE about it, lol!!!
On to my latest card, then.................
There are a lot of Easter challenges in blogland, so I made this with some challenges in mind.......
the DP is from a free pack that came with my magazine (I really like this pack, and you'll probably see it again)....and I cut three strips and mounted them onto a pale green textured base card from Craftwork Cards.......cut a pice of orange Bazzil with my Martha Stewart lacy punch, and added a strip of the same paper I used on the egg, then added a strip of pink polka dot ribbon.....did a bit of faux stitchin'.......
I love this cute stamp! I won it at Paper Pretties and think it is funny and cute.....has to be a winner then, lol.......
I paper-pieced the eggshell.....not done that for a while, and had forgotten how much I like it! Little chuck is coloured with PMs........
I have huge amounts of these Prima flowers and they seemed just right for a bright and breezy Easter card....I like the look of the Card Candi, in the centres, too.........
Look at that ickle feathery bum! (bottom for those of you not British, lol)
`Found these little buttons in my stash.....job done!
Love the comments you leave........hope you like enough to leave one, lol!
