Bunny Blooms!

 It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made an Easter card using Bunny Blooms - T063 by High Hopes Rubber Stamps for the main image and Script Easter Greetings - F093 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. Easter is almost here and this little bunny is about to brighten someone's day!

To make my card this week, I started with Arches Watercolour Paper cut to 5.5" x 4.25". I ran this through my Cuttlebug using Tranquil Tulips Stencil from Simply Cards and PaperCraft. Next, I played with multiple Cosmic Shimmer products and spritzed some water to create this shimmery background. I let this dry overnight. I wanted the embossed tulips to show up more, so using a finger sponge, Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Wilted Violet was brushed over top of the raised edges. And of course, there is never enough shimmer so I added some Irridescent Glitter Dust spray as well. Then I glued this directly to the base card of Hammermill Premium 100 lb. Cardstock folded at 5.5" x 4.25". Lastly, I inked around the edges with the same ink.

The main image Bunny Blooms - T063 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) and Script Easter Greetings - F093 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) sentiment were stamped using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The main image and sentiment were coloured in with Copic Markers.

To assemble the remainder of my card, both the image and sentiment were attached to the background using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape. C.C. Designs - Dragon Dreams Enamel Dots were added to complete the card.

Easter Egg Gift!

 It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made an Easter card using this hoppy little Bunny With Gift - S118 by High Hopes Rubber Stamps for the main image and Script Easter Greetings - F093 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. Look at how "hoppy" he is to share his  decorated egg with a special person! I don't know about you, but I hope it's filled with chocolate. LOL!

To make my card this week, I used Recollections - Hot Buy Pre-Cut Cards for my base folded at 5.5" x 4.25". Next I die cut Hot Buy - Recollections - Spring Posies using my Cuttlebug and My Creative Time - Rectangle Frame Die. Using some spare ribbon I had, using some double-sided tape, I attached it directly to this die-cut. Then, using double sided tape, I attached this piece directly to the base card. The aqua colour paper is from Hot Buy - Recollections - Jewel Tones. I created this die cut using my Cuttlebug and Gina Marie Designs - Loopy Rectangle Die Set.

The frame for the sentiment was created in Microsoft Word and then printed out onto white cardstock. This was coloured in with ZIG Clean Color Markers - 050 - Yellow and 025 - Pink. I stamped the Bunny With Gift - S118 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) and Script Easter Greetings - F093 sentiment using my MISTI. Using my Brother Scan and Cut, I cut around the image leaving a small white border. This was coloured in with Copic Markers.

To assemble the remainder of my card, I first used some double-side tape to attach the finished sentiment to the bottom of the aqua die cut. 3M VHB - 2 sided tape was added to both pieces and attached to card. Lastly, the completed image was attached to the die cut, using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape.
