Hip Hip Hooray for Easter Eggs

 Oh, just a background with a bunch of fun colors!!! This was such a super simple background to create with Distress Stains yet I am so in love with the magical mix of colors.  They just seem to go along with coloring an Easter egg.  The egg stamp is from Tim Holtz and the sentiment is from Wplus9 Designs.  

I applied some Distress Stains directly to an acrylic block, gave that a little spritz of water and then placed it directly to a piece of watercolor paper.  I picked it up but there was still plenty of ink on the block so I blotted it here and there to add more color.  I didn't even need to color the egg because the background has so much color to it.

My card fits the CAS-ology Spring challenge.

And it fits the Crazy 4 Challenges Spring challenge.

Black and White

I wanted something really simple and I wanted to use the Crazy 4 Challenge of opposites.

 I had wanted to use a window on a card and the cut out heart worked just right here. The heart stamp has a matching die and both are from Hero Arts.

 I stamped the heart with black ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder so the black was a little more intense.  The tiny heart and flower finished off the card. It's a mini, 3" square card. 

Here is the Crazy 4 Challenges.

This also fits the Fusion inspiration photo.
