Green Egg and Chick

Top o' the day to you!  I created this card for the challenge at Fusion found HERE.   I used the sketch and the inspiration photo and came up with these newly hatched chicks and their lucky Irish friend!

I used an oval Framelit die for the eggs and free handed the cracks.

Circle of Spring

Here is a card for all of my Stampin' Up friends!   No digi images, no Copics, only Stampin Up! This card was inspired by SUO Challenges to make a card with the theme of Easter Fun.  You can see that challenge and play along HERE.  I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday again. The circle element is perfect for the wreath, you can find that challenge HERE.

Here is the card as I originally intended.  Adding the chick from Honeycomb Happiness was a happy afterthought!  I like the card sooo much better with the chick added!

Bugaboo Bird

I like the simple and classic sketch at Sketch Saturday so I wanted to give it a go.  Now that I am armed with a decent collection of Copic markers I thought I'd give digital stamps a try.  The challenge is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps and they have this darling bird image that works perfectly for the sketch.  You can find the challenge HERE.
