Vintage Easter


did you notice the charm hanging on the twine?
 What I like about this stamp is that it definitely looks like an Easter image (at least to me) without being a bunny, lamb, chickie, duck or an egg (not that I have anything against the bunnies, lambs, etc.). 
There are a couple challenges for shabby and vintage cards.  They are so much fun for me.  I love scrunging (yeah, I made that word up) up edges.  That's making them grungy with sponging or pouncing ink on them, and tearing them up. 
The layout is this week's Mojo Monday challenge. 

Here's the deets:
stamp - Crafty Secrets "Bird Lovers"
ink - Memento "Rich Cocoa"; Ranger "Tea Dye" and "Scattered Straw"
paper - My Favorite Things beige Perfect Panel; MFT "Sno Cone" cs; K & Co "Life's Journey" dp
miscellaneous - copics; Kaiser Craft lace; sheer ribbon; Plaid "Petals a Plenty" bird charm; burlap twine; burlap twine; prima flower; nesties scalloped square; Jolee crystals; sewing machine

don't forget the inside


Here's the challenges:
Mojo Monday MOJO186 - sketch
Top Tip #29 - Spring has Spring
Shabby Tea Room #57 - Inspiration photo (little pink birdie in a doily nest) and doily and/or lace
Whoopsie Daisy - vintage
Sugar Creek Hollow - Vintage Easter
2 Sisters #34 - Spring
If the Shoe Fits FF#74 - Spring Is in the Air
Stamps R Us - Easter Theme
the Pink Elephant TPE97- Easter
Crazy CCH#62 - Easter

Thanks for visiting, I hope you'll come back again.
