Easter Bunnies

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Easter's on it's way!


I think these Alex Siberia bunnies are so cute!
There are other critter dies in this set.  I'm anxious to use them too.

We have brown bunnies in our yard.  Hubby feeds them Cheerios and
they will hop up to him to get them.  These bunnies were cut from white
cardstock and colored with Distress Ink and a finger dauber.

I used a cover plate die for the background.  The label is from a retired Stampin'
Up set and the sentiment is by Papertrey Ink (PTI).

Here's another card that I did with friends last week.


I think this one was everyone's favorite!



Challenges:
A Cut Above - ATG using die cuts
Double D  - Easter/Church/Cross

 



Card Recipe
Stamps:  Just Sentiments: Easter (PTI)
Ink:   Versafine Onyx Black, Brushed Corduroy (DI), Fresh Freesia (SU)
Paper:  Neenah Solar White, Soft Seafoam
Other:  Cheerful Meadow Die (AS), Bright Butterflies die (SSS), Flower Garden Fancy die (HA)


Enjoy!

Wild Wood with Wood Slice

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

After making this card, I wanted to do at least one more before I put the
set on the shelf.  This time I wanted to use at least one of the wood slices
included with the set.

Here's what I came up with....


Everything but the bees was cut from Neenah Solar White.  I used Distress ink and
blending brushes to color the wood slice and started to color the flowers with 
sponge daubers and ink.  I wasn't crazy about the flowers so I went over them with
Copic markers.

The little bees are very fussy.  The dies cut the body, stripes and wings separately. They
don't take much paper but they do take a steady hand to get them together.  I think you'll
be seeing them often in the future if I can keep my hands steady.

Thanks to Donna for choosing my previous card as a favorite at Freshly Made Sketches.
She inspired me with this card that she'd made.  It was what I needed to get this
set out of my NBUS box and give it a whirl, not once but twice.

Challenges:
Allsorts #843 - Embossing or ATG - Embossed background
Can You Handle the Pressure - ATG with embossing used option of die cuts
A Cut Above - ATG with at least 1 die cut


 





Card Recipe
Stamps:  
Ink:   Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, Gathered Twigs (for wood slice)
Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Neenah Natural
Other:  Wild Wood dies (PTI), Copice (R29, R39, YG03, YG17, G24, G46, Y15, Y17), Cracked Large EF (TH)


Enjoy!
