Cool Chick

Good morning all, I hope you are having a good start to the week. Did you have a nice long weekend over Easter? We had a lovely weekend, including a delicious Easter Sunday lunch at mums 😋.

Anyway, I don't really do Easter cards, but I loved the March Simon Says Stamp kit, so used some of the elements to make this little card.

I used the stencil that came with the kit and stamped through it with Versamark ink. Then I lightly brushed Cosmic Shimmer Iridescent Mica Powder over the top. This one is the Blue Pearl. It gives a really lovely soft and shimmery effect.

Then I used a scalloped oval die on some blue textured card, and cut a window out so I could place the egg shaped pattern behind it. 

I stamped the little chick from the set and coloured it with Copic markers, then cut it out by hand.

I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and then heat embossed it with white fine detail embossing powder.

Then I put it all on a deeper blue card base and added a few pale blue pearls to finish it off.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Egg hunt

Happy Easter everyone.  Hope you've had a fun filled holiday weekend.

Today I have another card using the March card kit from Simon Says Stamp. 

I wanted to create a scene that looks like the critters are showing off their haul from an Easter egg hunt :)

 

I stamped the chick, bunny and several eggs then coloured them with Copic markers.

I white embossed a sentiment on green card before cutting it using the stitched landscape trio dies from Mama Elephant.

I used the cloud edge to make bushes and used the two slopes for my landscape.  These were added to a pale blue note card.

I layered up the card using foam squares then added my critters and eggs.  

Here you can see a little of the dimension I created.

The final step was to add a few white highlights to the eggs and the bunny's face.

Hope you like it.  TTFN Jude xx

Watercolour bunny

Hello friends.  Hope you are having a good week.

My card today is made using the Simon Says Stamp March card kit.

This is full of lovely Easter themed images.  

I made a card to watercolour using my Zig pens.

I stamped the bunny and a couple of eggs, then embossed them in white. I then coloured the images with the pens and used a water brush to move the ink around.

The background was made by scribbling colour on the bottom of the page and spreading it out with the water brush.  I wasn't sure this was going to work out at first but I just kept adding my colours until I got a finish I could live with.

Once it was all dry I added a sentiment using Memento ink in Tuxedo Black and darkened the bunny's eyes with a black pen.

Hope you like it.  TTFN Jude xx

Easter Egg

I don't make many Easter cards but this month's Simon Says Stamp kit encouraged me to have a go.

The set contains some lovely stamps, papers and Nuvo embellishing Mousse.  I'll show that in another card.

I used the stencil from the set with another new purchase - Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks!  I must say they are absolutely fabulous a blend so easily.

I used a very light hand to blend Cracked Pistachio, Broken China and Worn Lipstick through the stencil, then taped off the edges to add a border.

I added a touch of Spectrum Noir sparkle pen for a bit of shimmer, then adhered the panel to a piece of textured white cardstock.  The whole thing was applied to a bright pink 5.5 x 4.25 note card.

I think this is a quick and easy card that could be mass produced if needed.  Hope you like it.

Love many things

Happy Easter. Hope the bunny came to visit lol ;)

My card today is an non-Easter Easter card! 

The image is from Saturated Canary. 

Jen has a large box of mixed stamps so I hunted through to find a sentiment I liked. 

Hope you like it. 

Enjoy the rest of the Easter holiday. TTFN Jude xx
