Easter Houses in Spring Colors

 Selecting colors for my projects is never easy for me.  I don't have that "eye" for which colors go with which.  So it's always a hit or miss and I have to hope for a "hit".

I decided to go with soft spring colors instead of vibrant ones.  Instead of bright pink and purple, I choose muted pink and lavendar.  And I can only hope the rest work together.

Little is always more attractive to me, so I made these 4" tall,  small enough to easily fit on a Dollar Tree Foam disk.  I cover the disk in a complementary paper and trim the disk with a paper fence.  I made a little paper push cart and filled it with baubles and paper flowers,  and  finished with a few clay Easter eggs.

Pictured below are the houses I've completed.

Mystical Birthday Greetings

I've been blessed with long term friendships, some going as far back as kindergarten.  Most grew up with me on the south side of  Chicago, and all entering my life at different phases.  We use to celebrate each and every birthday, until we became too busy to find the time to do.  So, we came up with the system of celebrating them quarterly in groups.  This past quarter, we celebrated the winter babies of which there are  four.  I decided to make them some fun birthday cards using numerology to explain their destiny and tarot to predict their year.

I used black card stock as a base and Alchemy papers from Stamperia with touches of metallic copper.
