AUTHOR: Heather Wright-Porto TITLE: This One's a Beauty - Everyday/Easter Card DATE: 3/19/2008 03:52:00 PM ----- BODY:

I was originally going to add purple to the tips, but actually was very happy with how it came out above and decided just to leave it alone. This card, again can be used for many occasions. Although it is relatively simple, it is time consuming since Blender Pens are used for coloring.

Stamps

From the Garden (hostess set)
Never Ending Joy (for the greeting, but any can be used)

Inks

Blush Blossom
Certainly Celery
Stazon Black

Paper

Cameo Coral
Blush Blossom

Stampin' Up! Accessories

Other Accessories
