Happy Easter Everyone!!! Hope the Easter Bunny is good to you all! Well, today I turn 14 years old... and bunnies are one of my favourite animals (along with cats too!!!)  So for today's card, I am using a High Hopes Stamp called Bunny with Gift (S118) and Hoppy Easter Sentiment.  This adorable image was coloured with Copic markers (C1, E53, E55, E57, R20, R21, BG11, BG13, YR04, YR06, YR38, YR63, 100). Pink chalk added some colour inside the bunny's ears and on the cheeks. Glossy Accents was used on the nose and teeth.  The dies are from Spellbinders-Oval Scallops and Petite Ovals.  The paper is from Echo Park-Summer Bliss 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some Pink and White Cardstock.  A few Doodlebug designs-Sprinkles (bright glitter assortment) embellishments, finished the card off.
 
Have a great Easter weekend!

Thursday April 2 - Rainy Day Fun

Hello High Hopes Fans



Happy Thursday everyone! The snow is melting - YAY! and there are sure signs of Spring everywhere! I saw a very fat robin last week so it's officially spring right?! 

Ok, who doesn't love to play in puddles? I've been known to "accidently" step in one now and again <wink>  

My post today features Rainy Day Ducky and Sign Post (Happy Spring).



I coloured this cutie with alcohol markers (list below) and then fussy cut it. My checklist was printed from my computer onto lined paper from a notebook - the holes on the side are a die cut and I added "Happy Spring" from the Sign Post stamp. 

Spectrum Noir Markers

Puddle: TB2 TB4 TB5
Bill: CT2 GB5
Duck: CT1 CT2 CT4 Cheeks CR3 
Lady Bug: BG5 BG9 DR1 DR2
Hat: CR2 CR4 CR6
Handle: TN4 TN6 TN7
Umbrella: LG1 LG2 LG3 LG5 
Blender: dots to hat and umbrella

Happy Easter to all of our High Hopes followers and friends. Have a fantastic weekend!

He Lives! - Easter Blessings

Today I wanted to share with you one of my favorite Easter images - He Lives!


I love green and purple for Spring images and this one seemed to work well with it. Older papers from DCWV - but still favorites. My Martha Stewart Doily punch and some sewing put it all together. I created three dots with Viva Decor Pearl pen. Then I went back with Stickles.


Again, Love this image - He Lives! is just such a peaceful blessing image. Cute too.

 Copic colors used 


I hope that my card gave you a smile and I hope that you have a very blessed Easter.

Peeking Springtime Buddies

Hello High Hopes Fans

You can find our March Challenge HERE
The challenge runs through Tuesday, March 31st. 


Well Easter is this weekend! Wow that sure came fast, but on the other hand it means Spring is here!!
Today I am sharing with you my last Easter card and cute little basket I made. Both of these projects use the stamp called Peeking Springtime Buddies.


I wanted to try something new to me and that is using a stencil and modeling paste on my card. I used a brick wall stencil and tried to make it look like the image is peeking over the top of a wall. For the basket I followed a tutorial I found on Pinterest. I used a doily for them to "peek" over and added some flower brads and Easter grass.


I added some lace, flowers and die cuts to finish off the card.



Click HERE to view the  basket tutorial.


Copics Used:
Ducks: Y13, Y15, Y17 / Y32, Y35, Y38
Bunny: C0, C1, C3, nose: C5, C7
Top & headband: R81, R83, R85
Flower: B01, B04, Y13 & Stickles
Leaves: YG03, YG06, YG07
bows: B01, B04 / YG03, YG06, YG07  & Stickles

I've had so much fun using the Easter stamps from High Hopes! They are super cute and not hard to fall in love with!
I want to wish everyone a wonderful Easter weekend!
See you next week,
Cheri
