One Last Easter Card

Happy Good Friday everyone!  We had a really meaningful Maundy Thursday service last night along with a delicious soup and salad meal!  But it's been a long week!  I did have some stamping/crafting time with Cassidy yesterday morning and was able to make one more Easter card while she colored....well, markered...some pages she printed out!  I loved the challenges at In(k)spire Me and Inspire.Create:

I had not played very much with my new Art ImpressionsEaster set that Claire gave me, so I thought I would ink up the mama bunny this time:

I watercolored the image after stamping her with Stazon ink on Shimmery White cardstock: 

I also stamped and colored the little chick, fussy-cut her out and popped her up alongside mama bunny:

Isn't she the cutest?  I diecut the Shimmery White panel with a Rectangle Stitched die, and mounted it on a Whisper White card base to which I added a panel of Gala Gingham DSP.  I also added a strip of Lemon Lime Twist which was diecut with a Rectangle Stitched die and trimmed to fit. 

I've already sent out all my Easter cards, but it's never too late to start for next year!  Thanks for popping in today!

We had a big Easter egg dying session on Wednesday; Cassidy and Lee dyed over two dozen eggs and they wished for more, LOL!  They had quite a set-up:

Cassidy experimented with two colors:

This one turned out really well...Bermuda Bay and Soft Seafoam, LOL!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Happy Tuesday, peeps!  Another quick little card today; I recently won a prize from my friend and PP teammate Claire, who makes the most wonderful cards and is the epitome of a Southern belle!  She is such a sweetheart!  Anyway, one of the prizes was a cute Easter stamp set, so I thought I would just play around with one of my favorite images from the set, a little row of bunnies.  The Little Red Wagon challenge this week is to use something that hops, so I couldn't wait to try these little bun-buns out!

I had some Naturals White cardstock and stamped my bunnies with Stazon ink, and loosely watercolored them. I was really just playing around (that cardstock is not really a good choice with watercolors....just to let you know), but they turned out pretty cute, so I decided to make it into a simple card:

I used Crumb Cake and Flirty Flamingo for their bodies, ears and noses, so after die-cutting the panel, I mounted it on a Flirty Flamingo card base I already had in my stash.  I found some matching polka dot paper and made a banner and sentiment, and it was done  After mounting it, I decided to add some Soft Sky "sky", which I wish I hadn't done, because, as I said, this particular paper just absorbs the water and it was hard to get the effect I was looking for:

But they're still cute!  Shimmery White or Watercolor paper would have been a better bet, but as I said, I was just experimenting!  Happy (or should I say "hoppy"!) you stopped by today! 

No Cassidy pix today, but John found this little female downy woodpecker on our patio; she must have hit the window and was a wee bit stunned; I actually touched her a little bit (those feathers are so soft) which I am sure I shouldn't have done, but in a few minutes, she composed herself and flew off:

And my sister in SC recently sent me this photo of an albino squirrel she saw on a bike ride:

and I can assure you that she did not get close enough to pet this little guy!  

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
