Let me show you the cards I have for you today, plus a super cute bonus (x2) project!

Hello Spring
For this project I used the brand new "Spring Branches Die Set" and "Hello Spring Stamp".
I die-cut the branches using White cardstock, then colored them with Spectrum Noir Markers.
For the background panel I used the outer die from "Bunny Frame Die", die-cut it using watercolor paper, then applied Color Burst: Lemon Yellow and Alizarin Crimson.
After the panel got completely dried, I stamped the "Hello Spring" sentiment in Jet Black Stazon Ink.
Then added all the branches to the panel.
Embellished it with pearls.


Happy Easter

For this project I used a background I created with leftover paint the little ones had after painting their picture frames. I thought it would be fun to use it in an Easter project, and loved how this card turned out.
I again used the outer die from "Bunny Frame Die", I die-cut the "Happy Easter" in Gold cardstock, then the "Bunny Border" in pink Cardstock. Added the border with foam tape and glue the sentiment on panel.
Finally I added it to a A2 Card Base. 


And these are the projects the girls made!! They love the bunnies and get excited every time I get new craft stuff!!

My Sweet Petunia and Pink & Main Blog Hop!



Hello everyone!! We have another fun collaboration blog hop between My Sweet Petunia and Pink & Main! Amazing projects will be shared from both Design Teams and chances to win too! 
I just discovered Pink & Main and the products they offer are adorable! Super cute images, but not only that, papers, dies, ink and more!!
Two lucky commenters from the hop to win one of two prizes:
$50 shopping spree at My Sweet Petunia and a 
$50 shopping spree at Pink & Main

All you need to do is leave a comment on the participating blogs no later than April 1st at 11:59 pm (Central time), the winner will be announced  on Tuesday April 3rd on the My Sweet Petunia and Pink & Main Blogs

So, let me show you the projects I created for you today!

Find Beauty
For this card I used "Doodle Flowers" set. First, I stamped the images on  a piece of copy paper, then cut them out (used for masking). I started stamping the bigger flowers on a piece of watercolor paper in Stazon Jet Black ink, then masked them and stamped the little flower and leaves. Since this is a thicker paper, the MISTI is super handy to stamp the image more than once to get the perfect impression.
After that I colored the image and background with Spectrum Noir Aqua. After the panel was dried, stamped the sentiment in Pink & Main Fire Engine color. (Love this color, plus the ink is super duper amazing quality) After that, I added a lined border,  added a red panel behind and mounted on a white card base. I used foam tape for every layer. Embellished it with pearls and Clear Shimmer Marker (hard to show on the picture)


Have a dreamy day
I colored the images with Copic Markers, then die-cut them and set aside. 
Die-cut the background panel, then used Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink all around the panel, after that I misted it with Frost Sheer Shimmer Spritz and set aside to dry. After the panel was dried, I stamped the sentiment in Stazon Jet Black Ink and the stars in the same Distress Oxide color.
Then, I added all the pieces to the panel with foam tape and embellished it with sequins.


Thanks a Million
This card was super easy and fast to make.
First, I stamped the Thanks from Thanks to you set on a piece of white cardstock in Pink & Main Fire Engine Ink, then I used the background Thanks Die, I die-cut 4 pieces and glued them together.
I created a background using Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide, then added the little hearts from "Magical Unicorns Set" in Fire Engine ink.
Stamped the "A million" on a piece of vellum in Stazon Jet Black Ink. 
Added all the pieces to a white card base and sequins to embellish the card.


Here is the list of the participating blogs.
