Burst of Colors

Happy TGIF Everyone! - even if it is Friday the 13th! ;-) Are you all ready for the weekend? I know I am! Looking forward to soaking in some sun, relaxing, reading and also some craft time :-) Ok onto my card now...today I have another Heartfelt Creation card for you... I used the following stamp sets and dies for this card: Twining Clematis stamp set HCPC 3454, Malabar Clematis stamp set HCPC 3453 and Cross and Lilies Die set HCD 719. All of these are available through Dutch Paper Crafts ! You'll find ordering instructions in almost every post at the very end! It's as easy as writing an email!!! The embossed background is a Tim Holtz embossing folder from Sizzix and I distressed it with Distress Ink 'Pumice Stone' to give it a washed out stoney look. Ribbon, pearls, flower and metall embellishments are from my stash. The rose leave punch is from Nellie Snellen and also available at Dutch Paper Crafts This photo shows the card from a different...

Hello Everyone! It's the Easter week already. Do you have some egg coloring time on your schedules this week? I certainly do :-) I love coloring eggs and there are so many other traditions. So that means I usually color my eggs on Thursday which in Germany is called 'Gruendonnerstag' (lit.: Green Thursday) and if I'm not mistaken it translates as Maundy Thursday (please correct me if I'm wrong). It's also tradition in our family to have some green food on this Thursday like spinach etc. Then on Good Friday fish is on the menu (most likely salmon or tuna steaks for us) and I love to bake some traditional (and also try new recipes) cakes for the Easter weekend. Easter Sunday we like to celebrate with an ample Easter Brunch. Well and I think my card I have for you today fits quite well for the theme Easter: This beautiful cross is from a Heartfelt Creations stamp set (HCPC3450) and available from Dutch Paper Crafts HERE . As is the sentiment! Darlen...
