Pretty in pink Easter cards...

Sometimes simple is best, and these two cards were definitely simple.

All it took for this card was a pretty tulip die-cut, a heat-embossed sentiment and a few flat-backed pearls.

This photo shows the sentiment and the pearls a little better.

It was a dreary day when I took these photos, so they really don't show the card in its best light.


 

I heat-embossed the sentiment on the inside, as well, and rounded the upper right-hand corner of my card. I thought it needed a softer line to reflect the soft lines of the tulips.

This second card used a die that created a tulip border around the edge.  I simply inserted a pink piece of paper that would show through the die-cut design.

To finish off the card, I added some die-cut vellum butterflies (with pink pearl centers) a few pink sequins and some pink and white baker's twine tied in a bow.

I used the same sentiment on the interior of this card and stamped it in pink.















In my last post I mentioned that I thought I needed to trim my own hair. It was beginning to drive me a bit crazy every morning when I tried to blow-dry it.  Well I took a scissor to my bangs and to the back of my hair--particularly at the nape of my neck. I did this pretty much by "feel," as I did not have a mirror that I could hold and still cut my hair at the same time. It actually didn't turn out too badly. I took a photo of the back of my head in a mirror to show you the result.

The photo is a bit blurry, but at least you can see that there aren't any big gouges in my hair across the bottom. I even took a disposable razor and shaved the nape of my neck.

I guess this just shows we can do what we have to and not fail completely!

Thanks so much for stopping by and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
