    Somebunny dk 02663
    Just in time for Easter, we have this beautiful new bunny die! Isn’t it adorable? And so detailed with the scored lines and flower cuts. I die cut it out of white, then embossed it only on a piece of mint green textured card stock and fussy cut it out to place underneath the white die cut. I also die cut a white solid heart and the scroll heart die. On the scroll heart, I used mint green Copic markers to color it to match the other papers.

    A    fter die cutting two layers using the labels 2, I stamped the tiny flower on the top of the large white background and added a strip of dotted paper on the bottom. The greeting was stamped and die cut with a circle die and the larger circle was colored with the same mint green Copic to match.

    St Paddy Shamrock dk 02651
    Weekly-Favorite
     Today we are introducing this wonderful Shamrock die! Don’t you love the Celtic knot work in the shamrock petals? I die cut the shamrock out of some recycled box panels. I loved the dk green color and it is really heavy weight, but the die handled it with no problem. I also die cut a couple more shamrocks out of plain card stock and stacked them together w/ the green one on top for some extra dimension. It’s attached to a die cut circle of textured aqua and I die cut larger circles on the top layers of mossy green and patterned dp. The dp was also die cut on the lower edge w/ a curved die and I attached a strip of white die cut w/ a coordinating curved border. The greeting was stamped on an angle in the lower right corner with green ink. I outlined the letters w/ a dark green Micron pen and added shading and sparkle with a Stardust pen. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    What a wonderful color combo we have this week for the Splitcoast Color Challenge (CC463)! Peggy chose Tangerine, Saffron & Coastal Cabana! And I went with dessert using a wooden shape. I know I have a baggie of those cute little wooden things, but all I could find was a bag of wooden buttons that had this little heart in it so that’s what I used 🙂

    I sponged on the distress inks then stamped the two silhouette images. I lined up where the images would be on the front of my white card, and stamped them again so it looks like they go from the card to the sponged panel. I don’t know why, but I trimmed off a couple of strips from the right side but only added the narrowest back on, a little apart from the main panel.

    The die cut oval sentiment was added along w/ the wooden heart. A few highlights were added with a white gel pen.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
