BYSHcardmakers Sketch Challenge #68

Hi Crafty Friends,
There is still time to enter BYSHcardmakers monthly sketch challenge #68.Entries are due by April 30.Here's my final card for this challenge.

The background was created by using Distress Texture Paste over SCT's brick stencil on a piece of patterned paper.  It dried to this twinkly clear texture.  I also used Spellbinders poinsettia die set and Taylored Expressions A2 Stacklets.
You can join in the challenge by adding your project to our Facebook page HERE and navigating to the challenge #68 folder.
Here's the sketch for your inspiration.

Cut it Up Challenge #354 ~ Colors of Spring

Hi Crafty Friends,
We have a new challenge for you at Cut it Up.  Our theme for challenge 354 isThe Colors of Spring.
I've been cleaning and purging my craft room and am finding sets that have never been opened - Ugh!I'm using one of those treasures for today's card.

This die set is Artful Tulip from Spellbinders.  I used and very old Cuttlebug embossing folder, Script Texture for the background and cut a Jaded Blossom Scallop Oval from vellum to ground the die cut.

The sentiment is a Betterpress set that I foiled.

Sometimes I just need to "shop" in my own craft room.  Do you ever feel that way?
