Eggs-tra Eggs-tra!

I cannot resist cute bunnies and Easter. I used this bunny from last year's Hoppy Easter stamp set to create this card, and paired with Hopscotch paper pack. I love the colorful theme of this paper pack and just screams fun and Easter to me.

I used MFT Die-Namics Stitched Oval STAX. I am so in love with their dies! The bunny and egg are colored using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I used IG 1, 2, 4 and PP1 for the bunny. The egg was colored using BT1, 2, 4 and CR1 and 5 I believe. The sentiment came from the stamp set Hopping By and I inked the edges using Flaxen ink.




This stamp set is retired, but I don't think I'll ever tire of using it during Easter season.

And the sentiment came from this stamp set.

Easter Wishes

I just love the Hopping By stamp set. Here's another card I created using one of the stamps in that set.  I used Chameleon markers to color the image. Because of the pen malfunction, I couldn't tone it with any alcohol thus the colors are strong and there's not blending to it.

I've had people ask me how I did the stitching, and I apologize I forgot to mention using MFT Die-Namics Stitched Rectangle STAX. I love MFT Dies and confess to have bought a ton of them, which I hope I'll continue to use in future projects. I am a big fan of stitched and pierced looks, I just love the class and depth it adds to any card project.



Enjoy!

Hopping By

Easter is around the corner, and here's one of my cards this year. Hopefully I get to save some time to do more. I love Easter cards and the color of spring!

I used the stamp set Hopping By and colored the images using assorted Shin Han markers. Z2457 Marigold for the carrot, and a mix of Z2445 Barley Beige and Z2460 Pastel Peach on the bunny.

I embossed the Glacier cardstock using the Vine embossing folder. Let me just say I love all the designs on this Season Expressions 1 embossing folders!



Here's what the stamp set looks like.

Happy Easter Egg-Citement

I'm a bit late but hey, at least I still have a week left to do some Easter cards. Today's card uses Close to My Heart Hoppy Easter stamp set. This is so just so adorable! I had so much fun coloring eggs, trying out different color combinations to make the eggs pop. I also used Colored Egg for the additional eggs on the card. Isn't it obvious I got carried away with the eggs?

I used Lagoon cardstock and embossed it with Chevron pattern to create a background. I did not want to use any more B&T paper given my eggs are already creating a bit of a noise.  The sentiment was stamped using Easter Wishes and Hoppy Easter. It was stamped on a scrap of Skylark paper I had and I snipped the middle to make it look like a banner. I added black epoxy bubbles to accentuate the sentiment.  The pink strip of paper was also a scrap that I added to bring out some nice color.

And as always, my bunny and Easter eggs have all been colored using my ever so dependable Spectrum Noirs markers.

Hope you'll like it! Enjoy!
