Rainbow Trees

There is a bit of a a story to this card...I pulled out an old Poppystamps die called Party Lanterns in order to make a rainbow card for the Poppystamps Challenge #79: Rainbow. As I was putting the card together, I happened to turn the card front around, and then suddenly, those lanterns looked like rainbow trees. Perhaps it is because I had the Festive Friday #81: Earth Day (blue, green, trees, sunshine) challenge on my mind. I added a sun to complete my scene, and now I have a rainbow forest of trees. My rainbow colors were inspired by the colors in the inspiration photo at Inspired By #169: Spring is Sweet.

That's it for me. Hoping for a crafty weekend ahead.

My Crafty Roundup

I have finally had a crafty weekend! Here's what I made:

I am entering this card at PTI Make it Monday #349: Negative Die Cut Backgrounds. I used a die from the Shakers and Sprinkles kit, which I had completely forgotten about. I am also entering this card at Just Us Girls #473: LOVE and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Love is in the Air.

My next card was inspired by the sketch at Just Add Ink #442 and The Paper Players #427: Love is in the Air.

Last of the 'love' cards is a card I made inspired by the challenges at Poppystamps #53: Love Me Do and Addicted to Stamps and More #326: Anything Goes. I used the Party Lanterns die from Poppystamps for this card, and cut my lanterns out of a paint chip, which is how I got the nice ombre colors. I am also entering this card at Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #127: V is for Valentine. Still not a snarky card, but this is the least mushy of my 3 valentines today.

Next up is a card inspired by the sketch at MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge#422. I rotated the sketch by 90 degrees and used some of my newest MFT wine stamps and dies.

I used Copics to color this festive penguin, and am entering this card at Day 1 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. It's my first time playing along, and I am going to try to participate as much as I can.
