Purple Easter Blessings

Here’s my take on the Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge for today. I also used the sketch from Case This Sketch (CTS315).

I used two retired SU Sets. I have quite a few Easter sets from SU & others that I still love & so opted not to purchase a new one this year. I just love these colors! So Spring! 
The Crosses of Hope had never seen ink so this qualifies for Splitcoaststampers UseIt2019 challenge to use craft supplies that have been neglected or not used at all. . It’s a very simple card & will go to my sister. On my side of the family, Easter was a religious holy day; we got a few treats but mostly it was about church. On my DH’s side of the family, it is more about a spring holiday with baskets with candy & new outdoor toys. So I’ll use those cute little bunnies, chicks and lambs stamps for cards for that side of the family. :) Thanks for looking! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Crosses of Hope, Abundant Hope- sentiment; both retired SU 

Paper: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Pear Pizzazz, Gingham Gala 

Ink: Gorgeous Grape 

Accessories: Subtle EF

Fisherman’s Delight

Today’s card was made for the Splitcoaststampers “Mixability” challenge (MIX316). The challenge is to use the colors of the sky & mixed media, of course, to create a card. I chose to make the sky & water using distress & distress oxide ink to create the background and a little bit of pink gelato on the fish. Definetly outside my comfort zone but I had fun trying something new. I used the “Best Catch” stamp & die set in the SU Occasions catalog.

Here’s the card I made for my youngest (adult) daughter who loves elephants. I took the opportunity to play last Friday”s  mixed media challenge on Splitcoaststampers (mix312) to use the 2019 color of the year, Living Coral. Two mixed media techniques are required. I used emboss resist with white embossing powder and I broke out the gelatos I purchased several years ago & have never used.
I used retired SU products, Luck Elephant stamp, DSP & ribbon so I entered it on the on-going SCS UseIt2019 to break out neglected supplies.
