Easter Peep

Posted on March 11, 2016 11:11 AM by Julie 1 Comment

For the Free for All (F4A316) & Mixability (MIX163) Challenges I have this very clean & simple card. The F4 challenge wants us to use yellow as the focal color & the MIX asks us to use at least one die cut.

There’s not a whole lot to this, as you can see. For the MIX I used the die cuts & for the mediums I have dye & pigment inks, Copics, & embossing powder. And yellow is definitely the featured color. The white flowers were heat embossed on the yellow & I added yellow dots to the centers of the dry embossed flowers on the white bg. The little peep was colored w/ Copics & die cut.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stamps: DRS Designs- Simple Easter Bunny, Favorite Peep, Flower Bg

Flying Balloons

The Clean & Simple Challenge today (CAS366) is to have an element extend beyond the edge of the card base. My yellow balloon rises just above the top edge of the card. I also had the MIX Challenge (MIX162) from last Friday in mind when I made this by using only primary colors.

I had a water color bg in my stash (I tend to make a bunch at a time for use later on) & I used the part of it that only had the red & yellow. There’s a little blue creeping in on the right, but not much. The two hot air balloons were stamped, colored w/ Copics, over stamped w/ Versafine then fussy cut. I also added one extra center panel (a little elevated) on each balloon. The little curved white panel w/ the window cut out was a left over so I cut the bottom of the w/c panel to match. Added the greeting & some sequins & done!

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Rainbow Gold

The Technique Challenge (TLC571) is naked stamping..not as risqué at it sounds..it actually means “no coloring”…just plain stamping of the image onto a background.
For my card, I pulled out a watercolored bg I had in my stash & since it has most of the colors of the rainbow, I thought it would be perfect with this greeting. I put the stitched white panel in my Misti & stamped the Everything Irish image. Then I tacked the die cut watercolor panel in place on the white panel & stamped it again. I added the greeting above it & a few punched gold four leaf clovers.

Here’s a look at the inside with another fun greeting & some leftovers from the front.
