Heather challenged us to a clean and simple easter bunny card.

I don't do many Easter cards so I only have a couple of Easter stamps and they are all sentiment.  I used a retired stamp for my card and turned the sentiment into a simple bunny.

Watercooler Wednesday Challenge 109 - Heidi's Color Challenge

Hiedi gave us a color challenge this week. 

These colors had me stumped until I came across the stamp set "Cake Crazy".

Since there wasn't yellow in the challenge I left the candles off.  It's a wobbly looking cake but still cute.

Watercooler Wednesday Challenge 108 - Gail's Sketch Challenge

Confession time, Gail gave us this sketch to work with this week. 

This is the card I made for last weeks masculine card before I realized how close it was to the sketch.

Here is the revised card to fit the sketch.

Whisper White, Dapper Denim and Basic Gray are the colors of cardstock I used.  I ran a piece of Silver Foil Sheet through the Big Shot in the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder for my Diagonal piece.  I used Silver Embossing Powder for my Sentiment covering the whole piece of cardstock in three layers of embossing powder. While the last layer of melted embossing powder was still warm I stamped the sentiment from "Suite Sentiments" into it. I used 4 screw head from the Urban Underground Embellishments

Watercooler Wednesday Challenge 107 - Penny's Masculine Challenge

It was Penny's turn to challenge us this week!

I love when we have a masculine challenge, it makes me stop and think a little more than my average cards does.  Birthdays and weddings are the easiest for me to make and they seem to be the ones I use and sell the most of, but every now and then the men in our lives need a card.

I used Very Vanilla and Pacific Point cardstock and colored the images from "Nailed It" with the new watercolor pencils. I ran a 1" strip of Silver Foil Sheet through the Big Shot in the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
