Makin me Smile...

OK, so this card is loud...not my norm.  For this card I decided to go outside of my normal color range.  I'm a HUGE fan of pastels...Spring Colors are my pick..usually, but I absolutely love how it turned out. 

The super adorably cute image is the Futterby Fairy from Meljen's Designs, love her.

I colored this little sweetie pie using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Marker...I'm still trying to get the hang of them.

Spring Joy

I have my first Easter card...yes it's another shadow box card...what can i say, i love them.
This is also my first challenge entry.  For now I'm only doing The Paper Shelter "Animal Magic" challenge. 

The image used is from TPS.  I used my spectrum noir and some brads, old brads, from Oriental Trading.
This SBC (shadow box card) has a side hidden pocket verses my previous version of the top loading pocket.  Whit this one the tag is attached and swivels out...love it.
