Fab Fri 134

Hi stampers! This is going to be a short post. Too much to do and too little time :-) Happy Friday and happy Good Friday! We have a new challenge for you over at Fab Friday and it's quite springy if you ask me!

My card didn't turn out quite in my head how I envisioned but I'm going with it anyway. Usually the ones I hate are the ones the most people like, LOL!

I did my watercolor background on a live FB video last week. I've been using my silicon craft sheet to do them and they are pretty fun! I used my stamparatus to stamp the egg and I inked it up using sponge daubers for a softer look.

I hope everyone has a happy and blessed Easter.

Happy stamping!

Happy Birthday....Easter

Hi stampers! Easter is quickly approaching, can you believe it? That means that the SU OnStage event is just a week away! I'm very excited to see the new catalog and even more excited to squeeze some of my friends!

I was using the reverse side of this sheet of DSP and realized that this side would make the perfect Easter card! And then I glanced my Happy Birthday Thinlit and an idea was born! I love that so many of our products can be used for something very different than what they intended! And seriously, this print of this paper is just so gorgeous!

For the die cut, it's super easy to just trim off the two parts. I splattered a bit of Calypso Coral and added a few pool party accents and a doily! Done!

Bunny Two-fer

Hi stampers! I've got an Easter two-fer...get it? Bunnies have big teeth...we often refer to teeth as toofers...no? LOL! Anyway, I can't believe Easter is almost here! I thought I better get some cards made, especially since I just got this set and mainly for this CUTE little bunny rabbit!

I was playing around with watercolor wash backgrounds over the weekend and thought they would be great for Easter. I made these with my silicone craft mat and reinkers. Just add some water, a few drops of ink, and squish your paper down. For the green one, I just placed it down carefully and for the pink one, I did that and then moved it and swiped it around a little.

For this card, I used Teeny Tiny Wishes (it's been around for-ev-er so don't forget about it) to randomly stamp on the background. I liked it so much I decided it didn't even need a "real" sentiment! For this bunny, I stamped and embossed him on regular whisper white and used my colored pencils and a blender pen to color him. If you have the Lots of Happy Card Kit, you have a lemon lime twist colored pencil!!!! I think smokey slate and lemon lime look fabulous together, especially for Easter! Remember, sometimes simple is good so you can make a really cool card with only two colors!

For my pink card, I waited until my background was dry (same for above card before stamping, too) and used my sweet sugarplum and flirty flamingo markers to splatter. I had watercolored it with powder pink and flirty flamingo.And can I say how much I love powder pink, sweet sugar plum, and soft suede together???? For this bunny, I embossed him or her with soft suede ink on watercolor paper and watercolored. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added some lace trim and tiny pearls as well. A couple of bits of washi tape finish it off! I love that this one is mailable, too!

You better get used to seeing these banners because I just got them and I CANNOT stop using them and I'm not sorry! I think I got all my supplies listed. It was a LOT!
