Easter Bunny

I love creating backgrounds for my cards and one of my most used technique is using stencils and inks…recently I saw an awesome tutorial by Stephanie on the MFT Blog in which she had used the Drifts & Hills stencil to create the most beautiful patterns on her cards…so I was very inspired and wanted to try creating a pattern myself….

I started by die cutting the front panel of my card using a large dotted rectangle die and then sponged in three different Distress Oxide inks and the Drifts & Hills stencil to create the background…I have used blueprint sketch,spiced marmalade and squeezed lemonade shades here…I also sprinkled some water for effect…once dry,I adhered this panel to a plain white card base…

To create the big carrot I wanted to use some orange felt which I thought I had…but since I didn’t,I die cut the carrot twice from thick cardstock and layered it and then applied some spiced marmalade and twisted citron on it…I used some orange thread to stitch in the border and then applied some glossy accents on it…I adhered this carrot in the middle of the front panel..

On a separate piece of white cardstock, I stamped and coloured in the bunny image and then cut it out before placing it in front of the carrot…I applied some glossy accents on the rabbit as well…

Finally,I added the stamped sentiment banner as well as some sequins to embellish my card…

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today…Hope you will have a wonderful and blessed day ahead…Happy crafting..!!

Somebunny Thinks You’re Special

I was just trying out the Pale Aqua watercolour(no.50)from my Gansai Tambi watercolour set to test out how it looked and made some diagonal stripes with a wide brush on a piece of white cardstock…I liked the result and used it as a background for my card….

I chose a kraft cardstock to make the card base and die cut three sections from green cardstock using the Lawn Fawn stitched hillside borders dies….I layered these sections on the painted top layer…

I stamped the little bunny and chick on a separate piece of cardstock and coloured them in before cutting them out and placing them onto the card…I have applied some glossy accents on them for a bit of shine…

I stamped the sentiment on the top layer using black ink and stamped a couple of red hearts as well….and finally I have used black Nuvo Crystal drops to embellish this card…

Thank you for stopping by to take a look at my card today….Have lovely & blessed day ahead…!!

Wishing You A Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone….I hope your Easter is filled with hope,peace and brightness…!!

Today I’m sharing another Easter card that I have made using the MFT Somebunny stamp set…I chose a textured light yellow cardstock to create the card base and a plain white top layer…I masked the top layer at an angle and used black ink to stamp the little chick and flower repeatedly in the unmasked section…after removing the mask,I stamped the sentiment using watermark ink and then heat embossing it with gold embossing powder…

On a separate piece of cardstock,I stamped the bunny,the carrot and a little chick and coloured it in…after cutting them out,I applied some glossy accents on them before adhering them to the card…

You can see the gold embossing a bit better in this close up shot….

I didn’t want to add any embellishment to this card so decided to colour in one of the chick that I stamped for the background….luckily it was stamped straight.. 🙂

I’m glad you stopped by my blog today…Thank you so much for your visit…Have a wonderful day ahead…!!

Easter Bunnies

I didn’t have any Easter themed stamps so wasn’t planning on making Easter cards this year…but then I saw my MFT Somebunny stamp set and an idea started to form…I got stuck again when I needed a larger sentiment than I had for this card…and that’s where alphabet stamps came handy….and here’s the card…

On a plain white card base I have used a yellow top layer…I stamped the sentiment right in the middle of this layer using a combination of a small word stamp and alphabet stamps….I then added the next layer above it which has been made from Vellum cut to the same size as the top layer and embossed using the quilted embossing folder….

Next,I die cut a rectangular frame from white cardstock and adhered it to the card…I also adhered tiny blue sequins on the Vellum in the area within this rectangle..

After that I stamped the cute bunnies and carrots on a separate piece of cardstock,coloured them in using watercolour pencils and my Dove blender pen and cut them out before placing them on the card…

Here’s a closer look at the how the bunny images turned out…

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today…Have a lovely & blessed day ahead….Happy crafting…!!

For You Card

So today I’m sharing the second card I made using the other ombre watercolour background that I was talking about in my previous post….in the last one I had used warm colours so for this one I chose cool colours grey,blue and purple…

I followed the technique shown by Kristina Werner  for creating the ombre background..it’s a great tutorial and I have been amazed at my results…Kristina is an excellent teacher…

Once dry,I cut the top layer to size and embossed the it using the WRMK embossing folder..I also splattered a bit of white paint for effect….I then adhered this top layer to a plain white card base..

Using the leftover bit of paper from the top layer,I die cut the sentiment and placed it on the middle of the card…then on a separate piece of cardstock,I stamped, coloured in and and cut out the little bunny and flower cart images and placed these on the card as well…

To embellish the card I have used some silver sequins and I have used glossy accents on the images for a bit of shine…

Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my card….Have lovely & blessed day ahead…!!
