Easter Card

Tomorrow is my Create a Bunch at Lunch card group. We're making two cards, an Easter card and a birthday card. This is the Easter card we'll be doing.



We're making the backgrounds ourselves with paper scored with the Scor-Pal on a diagonal and dots using pencil erasers and VersaMagic Inks: Pink Grapefruit, Aquatic Splash, Spring Pansy and Key Lime. The yellow is DCWV and the pattern is part of a spring collection of double-sided paper by Heidi Swap I believe. The eggs were cut with the From My Kitchen cartridge of the Cricut and the sentiment is from The Angel Company's Trendy Greetings stamp set. The original image has the word Happy above Easter, but since they're cling mounted stamps, I was easily able to cut between the words so that I could use them lengthwise next to each other this way.

This card is also available in my Shop Handmade store.

Hoppity Skippity with Designer Collection

Well, I got some stamps from the new Serendipity Magalogue. They're all cut out and ready to go, so last night's Stamp With Me seemed like the perfect place to break them in. I pulled out my scrap box of papers from various Designer Collections, and the Hoppity Skippity set and played away.

My first card used yellow paper from the Gentle Beginnings Designer Collection, edged with Mango Madness VersaMagic Ink. The chick is colored with Copic markers.



The second one is the little lamb that also uses paper from the Gentle Beginnigs Designer Collection and was shadowed with Copic markers. The ink is Palette French Lilac.



The last one is my favorite. It uses patterned paper from the Brighten My Day Designer Collection. There is shading on the bunny, but it's very light and done with Copic markers. Because it was so light, it didn'g show up in the scan. The background of carrots was colored with Prismacolor pencils.
