Challenge #23 - A Theme Challenge

Hello and welcome to another challenge from the Inspiring Inkin' Stampin' Up team! Apologies for being a day late but all three of us from the design team were on the Stampin' Up training event in Reading yesterday and by the time I got home at 8:40pm I just didn't have the energy to upload the new challenge.

Anyways...the theme challenge for today is to make an Easter card or gift (or both if you so wish) with a side twist of using flowers in some form, with rub ons, punches, stamps, felt fusion, die cut blooms and so on.

Here's Amy's gorgeous Easter card using a great flower-making technique that was demonstrated by the lovely Jane also from the Inspiring Inkin' team at the Reading training day. Aren't those flowers just beautiful?!

Recipe:

Stamps: Baroque Motifs, A Rose is a Rose, Occasional Greetings

Paper: Bride DSP, Mellow Moss, Pretty in Pink, Blush Blossom, Apricot Appeal, Whisper White

Ink: Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke

Here's Elaine's wonderful card and gift bag, all full of Easter goodies. Don't those chicks look so cute peeking out from behind the DSP panel?!
