Designer Series Paper, perfect for Easter cards.
I was looking through the catty to figure out what paper to use for this card and saw the lovely Easter-ish colours in Nursery Nest. I don't know about you but the top one does kind of look like a pattern from an Easter egg. Again I stamped the bunny onto watercolour paper and coloured him in with my Aquapainter and ink pads. This set, Everybunny is a perfect one for watercolouring.
Happy Stamping,
that this card is too bright?
Tempting Turquiose, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White might just wake the lucky person who receives this card! The DSP is from the Big Top Birthday package and again was my starting point for this card. The little chick is stamped on watercolour paper with Black Stazon and coloured in with my Aquapainter and ink pads. Now what about that sentiment-that is one of the stamps from Delightful Dozen, and I will admit, I was delighted to see it-I love swirly fonts!

the fictional character in many of Beatrix Potter children's books, has come to visit this blog.
Ok, it's not really Peter, but it is one of his cousins! Isn't he just the cutest, and yes, he is part of the Everybunny set. Yes, I am going to make you love this set too, one image at a time.
The base of this card is Very Vanilla and then I went Baja Breeze crazy. Baja DSP and cardstock and then ink with just a few touches of Pear Pizzazz in the simple stripe and the brad to hold the faux Very Vanilla seam binding bow. I stamped him onto watercolour paper and then coloured in using my Aquapainter and ink pads.
Happy Stamping,
I just love this image from Everybunny so I decided to use it to make a card, having no idea of what I was going to do. This is not my favorite type of cardmaking, I normally have a plan and yes, sometime, I deviate from the plan but to start without a plan, often leaves with coloured images sitting on my desk for days, even weeks, waiting for the rest of the card.
I started this card with the image stamped onto a Whisper White 3" circle then coloured the image in with my blender pen and then using a Scallop circle that I punched onto scrap paper, I used a sponge & Bashful Blue ink to add the sky. Next opening my drawer to my Circle Scissor I cut a 3 1/4" Wisteria Wonder circle to mat the image. Now I have my image and I am so happy with that but where to go from here. So I decide a textured layer would look good and lattice texture would mimic the weave of the basket but I would rather not have to have another panel for the sentiment so I used a cardboard piece with a rectangle cut out on top of my embossing folder to not allow the pressure to impress that area. Voila, a great sentiment area that I filled with the stamp from Delightful Dozen. I added little rhinestones to either end to add some bling and then attached the bunny image with dimensionals and then attached the panel to a Bashful Blue base.
Happy Stamping,
I will admit, I was more than sad when last year's retirement list included A Good Egg, I mean what was I going to use for my Easter cards-really it was obvious that SU just didn't understand. Just because it had been around since the spring of 2008, other sets are older than that (no don't take my Lovely as a Tree because I said that). Ok, I will wait and see what comes out in the mini, well, definitely not my style. So I decide I will order the Everybunny set from the Idea Book & Catalogue- I mean I have to make Easter cards. So it arrives and I really look at it.
I mean how could I have not noticed this when the book first came out-and yes I forgive them for retiring A Good Egg-this set is so much better. So here is my first card with the set
I even think this chick is cuter than the Good Egg chick! This card is all about texture- textured DSP from the Sweet Shop DSP pack and then I used the Lattice Impressions die for the texture for the pink image panel. The chick and the sentiment are stamped onto Watercolour paper and matted with Wisteria Wonder.
