Easter Wishes

Hello everyone!  It is a beautiful day here today--sunny with a cool breeze.  While our nights are still a bit cold, I think winter may be on its way out.  My bruises from the injury to my forehead are fading and I no longer have that smoky eye look to one eye!

With Easter fast approaching, I though I'd better get a start on cards for the holiday.  Everything used on this card is from Recollections or Michael's except for the large fabric flower from Jolee's Boutique.  I tried a different approach on making this card by tearing pieces of paper and piecing them together, although you really can't see it here.  The papers were rather bright, so I have them a light coat of gesso.  A Wilton doily was placed on top and then a floral image was added to that with pop dots.  Flowers were placed at opposite corners.  The wood leaf was given a coat of bundled sage Distress Paint.  The trim across the bottom was from the bargain bin at Michael's.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

I felt the card still needed something, so I added the pretty faceted rhinestones from Recollections to finish it off.

On another note, I didn't realize that some people may not know who I am because by blogger profile just says pattyo while google has me as Patty O'Malley, so I updated my blogger name to Patty O'Malley.  So if you are use to seeing me as pattyo, it is now Patty O'Malley.  Thank you for stopping by.  I always appreciate the comments you leave.  Have a wonderful week!
