Day of Challenges Part #1

Who is ready for the holiday weekend? I am tackling the project of painting the living room and kitchen, so I spent most of today crafting and playing along with a couple of challenges!

I love the ombre trend that is going on lately, but have not tried the technique yet. That all changed once I saw the inspiration photo from Avery Elle's current challenge:

As you can see, I decided to go with the colors from the inspiration photo. I included the ombre coloring, similar to the water. I also included embossing swirls that reminded me of the soft waters in the photo. 

The sentiment is from Avery Elle's Oh, Baby Stamp Set. Each stamp is inked in a different shade of blue.

Thank you for stopping by today! Stop by Avery Elle's challenge to see more amazing projects and inspiration!

Happy Easter! gel-atins style!

Can you believe that Easter is less than 2 weeks away? Are you ready gel-a-tins friends? Today I am sharing a CAS Easter card using the gel-a-tins Easter Bunnies stamp set.

Here is my gel-a-tins Easter creation:

I took the back of the egg stamp and inked it up with the purple ink and stamped. Wiped the purple ink off and allowed the stamp to dry. Then I put brown ink on the egg stamp (design side) and stamped over the purple. I cut the eggs out and attached to the embossed cardstock. The next step is to stamp and cut the bunny image from the stamp set.
