Have an EGG-celent Easter

Have an Egg-celent Easter

My Card. . . .

I happened to have a card already cut and waiting in this lovely purple shade, it is a sheet of Simon Says Stamp card stock from the January card kit. I used pale yellow striped card stock for my bottom panel and sprayed it with perfect pearls for some shimmer. I die cut my top panel with a Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle die.

I used my Explore to cut the grass from Lawn Fawn polka in the meadow small polka dot green paper and also to cut the Easter eggs out. I adhered the Easter eggs and then colored them in with my Zig Clean Color markers. I layered the grass on top so the eggs were sitting in the grass. I also used my Explore to cut the sentiment from adhesive vinyl for super easy application!

I stamped this bunny from the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby stamp set, colored with the Zigs and die cut. I wanted to put something fluffy on the tail but I didn't have anything. . . . Then added some matching sequins with mini glue dots.

This card was created for two challenges:

Craftin Desert Divas - Color/Photo Inspiration

I like this card but I might try it again without coloring in the Easter eggs, or maybe doing a watercolor under it instead of coloring it in after applying to the panel.

See you next time!

Tank You

My card. . . .

Yay! Shaker Card!

I used craft foam to create my shaker window. I cut two pieces that were a little bit smaller then the white panel and put them together. The foam that I have has adhesive on the back so that was pretty easy.. I die cut a circle that was a little bit larger then the fish bowl die cut into the craft foam and I cut acetate big enough to cover the window and stamped the fish bowl on it with black Staz On.

Then I cut a circle one size bigger then circle that I put in the craft foam for the bottom of my shaker. I did a second generation stamping of the fish bowl so that I could color the background and place items on it. I used a Molotow masking pen to cover the items that I stamped so that I could easily watercolor the background.

I attached the background circle to the back of the foam and attached the acetate to the back of the front panel. I scooped about a 1/4 tsp of a Pretty Pink Posh sequin mix into my well. Then placed the front panel on the foam and attached the whole thing to the card front that has a piece of Lawn Fawn paper that was die cut with the Lawn Fawn largest stitched rectangle die.

I placed some coordinating sequins on the front and finished with some Perfect Pearl/Distress Ink splatter.

I made a total of 4 of these. . . .

See you next time!

MAKE A WISH

My Card. . . .

I used Lawn Fawn stamp sets Starry backdrops and Hello Baby for this card.

I started this card out by making my own background, using the Lawn Fawn Starry backdrops stamp. I then colored in the open stars with a green winks of Stella pen. I layered it on a Lawn Fawn Black stripe panel and then a panel of Lawn Fawn Licorice paper and I added some Virginia Turtle glitter enamel dots.

I used the Lawn Fawn stitched borders to create a tag from Lawn Fawn Licorice paper for my sentiment, also from Lawn Fawn Starry backdrops stamp. I stamped in versa mark ink and white heat embossed.

I also white heat embossed the frog from Lawn Fawn Hello Baby and did a water color wash over him and die cut him out. I think his little white eye is kinda creepy, lol! On the lily pad I took a zig clean color brush marker in light green and colored right on the stamp and stamped to the paper. It kinda gave it some texture, you could see the brush flow. I took the same green week of Stella and gave the lily pad a little shading. I put some gold stickles on the frogs crown.

I really like this card, I like the absence of color.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Make Your Own Background

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - A Bit O' Green

Lawnscaping Challenge - #125 - Color Splash

Emerald Creek Dares - Bring On The Green

See you next time!

Unbelievable!

Have an Unbelievable Birthday!

I made a set of cards today, I am trying to stock up for a craft show I have on 4/2/16.

My cards. . . .

I used the new Lawn Fawn Lovable Legends Stamp and Die set. I also used Lawn Fawn paper, The new perfectly plaid, polka in the meadow and polka in the dark. I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle dies cut get the plaid/striped layer and the white layer.

I used distress ink to water color my images, added dark flecks of color and used stickles for some sparkle, Gotta Have Sparkle! Finished with some colored sequins attached with glue dots, which are amazing!

So I made four super cute cards, fairly quickly, once I figured out what I was going to do. . . . Looking forward to apply this same method the the Critters Ever After stamp set.
