New Challenge #81 at Glitter n Sparkle

Happy Easter everyone,

Hope you all have a wonderful day,
and try not to eat to much chocolate.
Though I'm not sure I if can stick to not eating
to much chocolate myself
I've got the Youngest here for the weekend
and all she wants to eat is Easter Eggs lol,
Breakfast, Lunch and Tea !!!!!

Well because this week has been the start of 
the Easter Holidays 
I have managed to do 2 cards.

So here is my 1st project for this Week:-

My project for this week is:-

Benson Bear Nature Watching Digi Stamp 

from Crafty Sentiments
(one of our sponsors)

To begin with I used a Plain White pre-cut 
Double Gatefold Card

(stash)
which I reversed.
Then using 'Pastel Swirls' Backing Paper
(stash)
I covered the full card 
(and cut it out to fit).
Next using the matching 'Pastel Eggs' Backing Paper,
(stash)
I cut out 2 Side Faces and the Middle Section.

 I Die-Cut my Image out using
the largest Large Classic Ovals (5pc)
(Spellbinders).

I coloured in my Image 
using my Promarker Pens.

               Butterfies -     Buttercup
                                     Blossom
                                     Lavender

               Flowers -        Buttercup
                                     Blossom
                                     Lavender

               Grass -           Meadow Green
               Bear -             Sandstone
                                     Bunt Sienna
               Egg -              Cocoa
               Ribbon -         Pastel Blue

               Sky -              Pastel Blue

To get the affect for the Sky I used
 Me-To-You Blue Nose Pigment Ink
(Color Box),
I applied the ink with a sponge.

I used a Gold Metallic Gel Pen
to write my 'Happy Easter' Sentiment
by Hand.

To finish off my card
I added some Pastel Pink Glitter as
Plum Purple Glitter to the Butterfly Wings
and Pastel Blue Glitter to the Ribbon around the Egg
(Pastel Glitters from Hobbycraft 
other from Craftplanet).
And added a strip of Pink Checked Ribbon
(Stash)
down each of the Side Facings,
and using a strip of Pastel Green Ribbon
(stash)
I Hand-made a Double Bow.  

And finally I placed Flat-Back Pink Pearls,
on the remaining front corners,
and Flat-Back Blue Pearls 
on the Side Face corners
(Anita's).
