Easter bunny gets the carrot

Good Monday!  This clever little guy has his treat and just in time.  I have been having fun with some Easter images and my Memory Box wreaths, here's my latest :)

I stamped the wreath and cut with a blossom Spellbinders die, stamped the  bunny from Deadbeat designs directly onto polka dotted paper and, cut out and adhered with foam.  The little carrot stamp is from Stampendous, stamped and coloured with Copic markers.  The card base is PTI Aqua Mist and I used a Sissix EF, then added the pretty Stella Rose Mabel panel and the cotton lace.  The resin flower is a Prima.  Simple and fun!

Hope you are having a great Monday!

Easter cards

A couple of Easter cards...have you noticed the later date this year?  Seems like far away, but we all know how very quickly 5 weeks can speed by...right ;)


This first Stampendous Easter bunny card is such a sweet image.  I made it for the challenge going on over at SCS here.  I love the sweet little bunny face and love paper piecing the letters.  I chose to use Graphic 45's Once upon a Springtime 8X8 pad ...again.  Love this collection and I have almost completely exhausted it!  I used PTI ivory cs for the card base, embossed the front with a CuttleBug polka dots EF and stitched the gingham panel with zigzag and straight stitching in peach thread, added a length of lace and adhered the bunny panel with foam.
As for my next card, this year's version of one of my all time favourite Magenta stamps.  I have had this stamp for a couple of years but I saw that Ellen Hutson is now carrying it.  Ellen has great taste!  The Springtime floral tiles with the French and English Easter script as background are truly a joy for me to work with.  I enjoy colouring the images and this year I used a white enamel on the lilly of the valley bells.  The background PTI kraft cs is embossed with a PTI metal embossing plate, you might have to click onto the photo to enlarge and make more visable...
I used PTI harvest gold cs for the Paper punched border (EK Success border punch) and stitched some machine zigzag across.  The sentiment is an older Stampin'Up from ..well, I am not sure what set.  I orphaned the stamp from it's family a couple of Easters ago I think and have not re-united.
The weather has been so beautiful here in Austin.  I have been in the garden every day this past week cleaning/pruning/amending and planting.  Still have a lot of mulching to do...and then onto the back yard :0)
Hope it is warm and bright where you are and Thanks for taking a peek today!


Cheers,

Lovely Lucky Green Bunny!

Good Day everyone! I have a few cards today 1 is for the MoxieFabWorld Lovely on the Green challenge and the other two are Easter cards, just 'cause I felt like making them!

My green on green card is this lucky bunny, and his "pot of gold" right in plain sight. He is almost there! This is my first time to sew on a card, so please excuse the crooked stitching. I used PaperTrey Ink's Bitty Dots paper for the background and sewed onto a Spring Moss panel. I used my Martha fence punch and slightly edged with some Spring Moss ink, adhered with dimensional foam to the front. The little bunny (a Deadbeat designs stamp that I got at a local SBS) was stamped directly onto Graphic 45 Botanicabella dp and cut out and I added a pom pom tail dusted with white glitter, because to my horror, I had black, red and gray pom poms, but no white ones, so I improvised on the gray.

The carrot stamp is from Stampendous and I coloured with Copics. The Shamrocks are punched with a couple of different heart size punches.

The next card is a more traditional Easter card made with Magenta cling stamps, coloured with Luminaire and then with the newest oooo pale Copics. I don't know if you can see the slight yellow on the daffodil, purple on the tulip and pink on the lilly of the valley? I cut out and mounted with dimensional foam to a black square and then to a panel I made with another MS edger punch. The cream panel is a CB folder and then mounted to another black panel and the DP covering the whole front is a K and CO. I really like this card and would have to say that this is a comfortable style for me.

This next Easter card is quite colourful! I used the cute Easter Inchies from Rubbernecker that I purchased last year when released. I had fun colouring these teeny images and decided to make an Easter quilt-like card. The cs and dp are both PTI.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers to a great Wednesday!
