I am back and have a card to share....

Hello everyone,
I swear that life has just been a whirl wind for the last month or more. I am so glad to be home. But I have to tell you that I am still not caught up and it will take me a bit to get that way. I have tons of emails to still answer and a house and laundry that needs cleaning and then I have my day job!!!!! OH I WANT TO PLAY in my craft studio!!!!!!!!!!!! I got up yesterday at 4:30 AM to make this card for Color Create.
You see it is my turn to host the challenge this time and with everything going on here at home I was unable to get my card done before listing time. I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!
I am still under water here and trying the balance everything. It is going to be a while until I am in full swing and getting everything done like it needs to be.
I want to thank everyone who has left comments and emails. You are all so sweet and caring. I will get to all of the emails with-in the next little bit.
Now enough of all that and lets get onto my card for today.......
I have picked PASTEL COLORS
with the optional extra of EASTER.

Here is the photo that I have picked for inspiration.

I have used #361 Strawberry Tilda
(I see that she is out of stock but will be back very soon)
Paper used: Bazzill cardstock, Melissa Frances, MME, 3 bugs in a rug
I have used my copic markers to color my image.
For the embellies I have used lots of paper flowers, pearls, heart button, chick charm, butterfly charm, some fibers and ribbon and a bit of trim.
I have sewn my card and used Ranger distressed ink for the edges of the layers.

Challenges to enter:

STAMP WITH FUN: Spring

PAPER TAKE WEEKLY: It's a Mom thing (or just be girlie)

ABC: Q is for Quilting/sewing

CRAFTY CREATIONS CHALLENGE: in stitches

LITTLE RED WAGON: butterfly

SUGAR CREEK HOLLOW: Anything goes

CRAFT YOUR DAY AWAY: for Mom or Special Lady

THE STAMPMAN CHALLENGE: floral


Can you see my cute little chickie charm peeking out from the flowers?
Well, that is my very long post for today.....
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY..
I hope to be able to do some blog hopping this weekend to see what you have been making while I have been away.
