Impression Obsession Designer Challenge-Bunny Love

Good Morning!!!

Today's Challenge is Bunny Love

I LOVE the new Bunny Die 

I was so excited to get it in my designer box and I have to say it's the first card I wanted to create!

My Girlfriends and I , have a monthly challenge in which one person sends the same supplies to everyone and then we all create a card. It's so fun to see how everyone has such different creations, even with the same supplies. Anyway, this adorable background paper was a piece I had left over from the challenge. I paired it with the Checkered Framesto make this super sweet card.

Happy Easter is on the designer paper, so I left it sentiment free

Hope you likey!

It is SOOO pretty!!!!

I coloured it with Copic Marker and added some highlights with my Sharpie White Extra Fine Point Pen.

I think we all should Live like someone left the gate open

I also coloured this guy with Copic Marker

I wanted a little more dimension in the background, so I stamped tone on tone

Impression Obsession Designer Challenge-Happy Easter

Good Morning and Happy Spring!!!!

Although it was a little chilly here yesterday, it truly felt like spring.

The sun shining strong, melting the last of the ice and snow; the wind whistling and whirling bringing us a fresh breath

I was working at home yesterday and I'm sure Sydney had Spring Fever as she bugged me every hour on the hour to go outside. Needless to say, we had a few good walks!

This week we're featuring Easter cards over at IO Stamps!!!!

Today I'm featuring a couple of Easter dies

I used the Marvelous Mask Ovals Stencil to create the background with 

Sky Blue, Baby Blue, Turf and Chartreuse Ink

Easter Greetings

Boy with Easter Basket

I'm not the best with Silhouette Stamps, but I think this little guy turned out nice!

Dying to share my Die Cut Obsession

Good Morning!!!!

I know I'm a touch late for the party, but I didn't want to post these pictures early because this one is for a St. Patricks Day Swap I did with my besties and while I was at it, I created Two Birthday cards for two dear dear friends who both turned 60 this week!!!!

These are the stamps and dies I used for the project~

Shaded Clover

Fancy Shamrock

St. Patricks Day die

This card is for my dear friend Kim.

s one i

I would have never been blessed with her friendship had I not been introduced to stamping!

Kim actually lives about 4 hours east of me, but we often craft together via Face time and she, along with some other special ladies up that way are so dear to my heart!!! I think she might see this here before she actually see's it for real as I don't think it arrived in her mailbox by Friday!!!

This one if for our friend Colleen, who really is like family!

We were a little younger then!!! (Yep, I wasn't eligible to wear a Red Hat !!)

She is Beautiful inside and out!!!

I love the Shadow clover stamp!

I just stamped it, cut it out and then distressed it a bit!

The little gold nuggets are just Rhinestones from the Dollarama!!!

I really love how these turned out,

As much as I {heart} the women who are receiving them!

Is Spring coming?

With Spring upon us, I was inspired to play in my art Journal. I  totally LOVE the  Spring Ring Stencil and I can see myself using it over and over.

Anyway, I decided to make a little bit of a background using the  Mid Century Birds Stencil

Once I got this in, I put the Spring Ring in the middle of the page and started using various inks to colour it in. . Then I traced the outer circle and added in my pattern to make it the focal point of my page...... Then I had an OOPS!!!

A BIG OOPS

A Huge smudge on my page from my arm, which I dragged through the ink.....initially I was SO bummed!!! but THEN......

I dipped my arm in the ink again and again and again and created the additional pattern on the bottom of the page, which I think looks pretty cool. I'm just glad the colour coordinated with my page!!!!

I can't wait to play a little more with these stencils and the rest of the new release~~~~~

Have an amazing day!!!
