Bloggers challenge ~ our favorite technique

Decisions decisions. it's almost impossible for me to decide what my favorite technique is. I will tell you that I sponge on many of my creations, so I decided to case a card originally done by my friend and wonderful stamper Lee Conrey. Lee's card was made with a different color set and a different stamp set, but it's where I got the main idea for this beauty.

I started with the designer series label punch and cut the top and bottom pieces off.

With a darker coordinating color I sponged one side of each "vase" to add a shadow. Next, I put a post it note across my card and sponged some "grass" with celery green. I really love how small the flower is in relation to the vase. It reminds me of vases around home. :) I used crystal effects to attach one bead to make the center of my flowers. I thought having the bunny in the middle was kind of funny.

Finally, I used a rubon to add the sentiment. This card ends up being a few of my favorite things, but choosing was the hardest part of this challenge.

Happy Easter,
