He is Risen

Hello,  

I love making Easter cards with cute little bunnies and chicks, but every so often it is nice to make a card that on the more serious side.  I found this Silhouette stamp from Blue Knight Rubber stamps.  I like the simple silhouette scene it creates.  It sort of says it all.  I hope you enjoy.  We will be back to cute bunnies soon.  :)

I colored this with watercolor pencils.  The paper is not watercolor, so I only used a tiny bit of water to blend.  It was just enough to add a touch of color. 

Eggcellent Gnome

Hello friends, 

Easter isn't too far away.   I couldn't let it pass without visting one of my favorite gnomes stamps.  I just LOVE his little carrot hat.    What things do you like to color for this season?

Brighten Your Day

Hey,, Is it Spring Yet? 

I feel like that is what this little bunny is peeking in to see.  Isn't he cute?   It doesn't have to be an Easter card, but it is hard not to think Easter when you see a bunny.     Maybe that would be a fun challenge...making bunny cards that have nothing to do with Spring or Easter.  Who is in?

Yappy Birthday

Hello, 

This little puppy stamp is just so so sweet.   I wanted to find a way to him up.   It is a bit different for me because I didn't color up the dog.  I let the balloons be the pops of color.  He is just so cute... He didn't need a thing.   I think I might make more of these in different colors.  Any suggestions?

Leprechaun

Hello, 

I've been playing around with some die cutting again.  These die cuts really came to life when you add some ink to the edges of them.   I also added detail lines to them with a green and white gel pen.

Lucky Charm- Part 2

Welcome (back),  

I have the second part of my Lucky Charms post.  This is a stencil set from Taylored Expressions.  I love how fun and easy this came together.  I die cut some of the shapes out of craft card stock to make it look like the brown parts of the cereal (you know the stuff the kids won't eat).  I had a spoon die from Sassy Club stamps.  I cut it out of a matte metalic silver paper.  I added some "milk" to the spoon.   I hope you love it.  It was a lot fun to make.

Faux Shaker CardLucky Charm- Part 1

Hello,  

St. Patrick's Day is one of favorite holidays.  It is stress free.   It is just meant to a fun day.   I feel like this card just captures all of that.   I created a faux shaker card.  It has only dimension so that they elements can move around. It can still be mailed with a regular stamp.   I used the lucky charms stamp from Taylor Expressions to make the elements.    I have one more card to share with you using the same set... stay tuned.
