It’s time for the Festive Friday Challenge, where every challenge is a party! This week for FF0004, we are honoring Easter, which is celebrated on April 1st. The twist this challenge is “Flowers”. You can create an Easter card, or a card featuring flowers, or an Easter card with flowers! Don’t you just love these twists? Any way you decide to create is fine with us! We would love to have you play along with us, so get started creating and don’t forget to link up with us.
But before you run off to grab your stamps, that cute designer paper with the flowers and inks, let’s take a look at what I created!
FF0004: Easter and/or Flowers
Sometimes it’s fun to pull out a stamp set you have not used for awhile, and so it was with Butterfly Basics. This set was my “go-to” set when it first came out, and it was well-loved for sure! I used it for one of my Stamp of the Month Club sets back in the day. But like a kid with new toys, as new sets came out, this one was placed on the shelf – until this week when I pulled it out for this card. I sat down with a cup of tea and reminisced with my “old friend”. I hope you enjoy today’s card.
Colors of the Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
I used both parts of this week’s challenge, creating both an Easter card AND using flowers. I started with a collage background…
added fussy cut flowers which were water colored with Blender Pens and inks…
and added a butterfly created from fairy wings.

Wow! Beautiful fussy cutting! I just love to pull out unused sets. Especially gorgeous ones like this… Great job, Ann!
Just beautiful, Ann! So many colors. It’s lovely!
a wonderful card, but with so many elements from other sources.
Happy Easter!
I really love this card and appreciate the way you used Seaside Embossing folder. I haven’t used my often but when I have it is usually used as water on cards. Seeing your card makes me smile.
Whenever I see your post I think of all the furbabies. Big hugs to all of them and a Mocha for you.
Love this stamp set and as usual you did a bang-up job on this gorgeous card.
