Red Skeleton - How did he know?

Some of you may remember him but he passed away before many of you were born. Red Skelton was a good & funny man. He also ended every show by saying, 'GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS.' Listen to the end of this. It is something he said 39 years ago.

FOR THE FEW WHO DON'T KNOW: Red Skelton was a movie star and comedian on television back in the 1950s. He created a number of characters, and his show was watched by millions.

Easter Card Featuring Various Stampin' Up! Sets - Bloggers Challenge Week 37

Did I ever have fun with the challenge this week!  The challenge was to create a card in any shape but a rectangle.  With Easter fast approaching, I made mine in the shape of an egg! 

For the outside of the egg, I got the shape by using both the circle and oval coluzzle and then cut the sides free hand. 

I used Baroque Motifs for the outside and embossed it with a mixture of White and Irridesent Ice embossing powders.  It gives it a beautiful sparkle.

                                                                                                                                                                                    

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

I then embossed the flower accents on cardstock vellum using the same powder. Once they were embossed, I used the Boho Flower punch to punch them out.

The inside of the egg is a little whimsical scene.  To create this, I used the stamp sets "Birthday Whimsey" that is available during Sale-A-Bration until March 17 and my favorite set from the 2008 Spring-Summer Collection, "A Little Birdie."

The eggs are actually the balloon from Birthday Whimsy.

The grass is a strip of Certainly Celery that I cut with my Paper Snips.

Here's the recipe for the card:

Cardstock:  Almost Amethyst, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Cardstock Vellum

Inks:  Basic Black, Apricot Appeal, Bashful Blue, Regal Rose, Versa Mark

Accessories:  White and Iridescent Ice Embossing Powders, Ice Rhinestone Brad, Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Coluzzle Cutting System, Paper Snips
