It's *Easter* at House-Mouse, plus Blog Candy

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!!

At House-Mouse & Friends, the new challenge theme is Easter and this is my fun take... 

 
My Easter CARD RECIPE
Stamps: House-Mouse Designs, Stampabilities, "Egg-cellent Painting", Stock# HMJR1056, featuring Hop-It and Itty Bit, from the year 2006.
Paper: DCWV Textured CS, Recollections Polka-Dot CS Paper, White CS
Ink: Copics, Studio G Inks (for Sponging skies)
Accessories: Spellbinders Dies & Grand Dies, New Martha Stewart Circle Edge Punch, Polkadot Ribbon, Prima Flowers, Adhesive Half Pearls
Techniques: Sponging, Layeriing

 I created the 6 inch doily circle with the new Martha Stewart Circle Edge Punch.  It takes a little practice to get these to punch just right, but the possibilities I see with these new punches are going to bring endless loads of FUN!!

Our super talented Teamie Lori Barnett, is hosting this *Easter* Challenge at HMFMC and says to include something that relates to Easter somewhere on our project. ie., Bunny, Chick, Egg, Jelly Beans, Cross, Easter paper, Easter colors, a sentiment....Anything EASTER.
 You must also use a House-Mouse, Gruffies, or, Happy Hoppers image.
