Happy Easter

Hello friends! I'm sharing a mini slimline Easter card featuring digital stamps from the LTTS Doodles Etsy shop!

These sweet bunnies are from the Spring Bunnies stamp set.  I printed the bunnies on Neenah card stock, colored them with copics, and fussy cut them.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the center of the flowers and polka dots to the girl bunny's top.  I used a black gel pen on the bunny's eyes, the overall button, and the carrot's eyes.  My card measures 3.25" x 6.25".  I inked a panel of bristol card with Spun Sugar and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks and splattered it with thinned white gouache.  I die cut a white frame from card stock and adhered it to my card with foam tape.  I adhered the bunnies with foam tape and stamped a sentiment from my stash in the center of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge

Good morning crafty friends!  Today I'm guest designing for the Caffeinated Christmas Challenge #27. 

The theme for March is Green.  In order to play along, you must link a new Christmas/Holiday themed card with green.  Your card can be coffee, tea, or hot cocoa!  Check out the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge blog for all the details!  I used images from the adorable Mama Elephant Hot Cocoa stamp set to create my card.  I inked a stitched rectangle with Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink, splattered it with thinned white gouache, and stamped a few small snowflakes with white pigment ink.  I adhered the stitched rectangle to layers of green and red cardstock.  I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set along the bottom of my card.  I colored the images with copics and fussy cut them.  I used a black gel pen on the penguin and deer eyes and used a white gel pen to add some highlights.  I adhered the images to my card with foam tape.
