Of course I'm late, I've been sick the last 3 days! I started this card way back on Thursday, & just could NOT get it finished in time for yesterday's High Hopes challenge, which is to make an Easter card. If you don't have any Easter stamps, then you can just make a spring card!!
Since I don't have my NEW rubber from High Hopes yet, I used one from their recent release called "Three Pane Easter". Apparently with the new release yesterday came some glitches with the older stamps, so I will update this post with a link to this stamp when it's available. I stamped the image onto watercolor paper & attempted yet again to watercolor using my ink pads & reinkers. Not TOO bad, but I still can't get my watercoloring to look as good as everyone else's! Papers are SU's Bordering Blue & MM's Chloe's Closet. There's a lot about this card I don't like. It just didn't turn out as I had it in my head, but since my head has been clogged the last few days I guess I can use that as my excuse. I used SCS's sketch challenge #200 for the layout & the "happy Easter" is from Papertrey's Limitless Labels.
Well I'd love to stay & chat but I really need to lie down ~~ finishing this card & photographing it, & writing this post was more than I bargained for, lol!! Hopefully I'll be back to feeling 100% soon, & hopefully that would be around the same time I get those new stamps!! Have a great day!!

Simply a gorgeous Easter card, Michelle!! I love all the springyness about it!! Hope you are feeling better soon!
This is adorable Michelle!!
sorry to hear you have been feeling poorly and hope you are on the mend now. I love the 3 pane characters on your card, and beautifully coloured. have you tried Hot pressed smooth water colour card that the botanical artists use - it is the best and makes a big difference to colouring with the reinkers. hugs, annie x
This is wonderful. I love this 3pane image. It is sooo adorable. Gorgeous doily lace edging and I am sending you great big hugs to get better soon :)
