Passion for Markers - Easter...

 Good morning, crafty buddies! The days are getting longer here in the UK, although it does feel as though they are moving a lot faster too! I can't quite believe that we are already a quarter of the way through the year, but it's nice to see the buds appearing on the trees, see the first Spring flowers and hearing the birds going about their nest building...

Today's challenge over at Passion for Markers has been set by the lovely Sue who would like to see all of your Easter creations, in anticipation of the celebration at the end of the month...

We are being sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 2 digital images from their online store...

The image that I  picked out is not particularly Easter themed, but I thought that this pretty 'Beret Girl' would make a wonderful Spring inspired card, with the right colour tones...

Colour List :

Skin - Bluch, Dusky Pink, Sunkissed Pink
Hair - Cinnamon, Auburn, Umber
Dress - Tulip Yellow, Sunflower, Gold, Pebble Blue, Black
Beret - Meadow Green, Apple, Forest Green, Cool Aqua, Duck Egg, Surf Blue

I gave her a die cut bouquet of flowers to hold and added some Easter eggs to depict the theme, keeping my design clean and simple, just using a pink plaid paper and my Spellbinders borders. I added some miniature butterflies (not strategically placed, of course?!) and finished with some flat back pearls...

I hope that you can find the time to play along with our topical challenge this week and look forward to seeing all of your Easter makes...
