Bunny & Faux Bunnies

Posted on April 18, 2014 11:57 AM by Julie 2 Comments

I have 2 cards for today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A217) Show me the bunny! The one above is also for yesterday’s (WT475) to use ovals. On this card, I stamped and colored the image then die cut an oval lavender frame for it. On another large white piece I stamped the tulips across the bottom and did what I call “into the window” using a larger oval die. It’s a lot like out of the box, but goes the other direction. The 2 lavender buttons were dotted with a white Permapaque marker. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

For my Faux Bunnies, I created a little Easter scene using pigs w/ bunny ears. You know sometimes (ok, a lot of times) I get these crazy ideas and they won’t go away until I create it. So here are my Easter bunny impostors. It could happen. Maybe. I started by stamping Leonard Billboard then masking him to stamp the fence and grass. The greeting was split up to fit inside the billboard. Little Leonard and the eggs were stamped separately and fussy cut. I used bunny ears from a couple of different bunnies (slightly different sizes), stamped them, cut them out and added to the pigs.

The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used. Yep. I used a lot of stamps and a lot of Copics on this one, lol.

Birthday Flowers

Posted on April 15, 2014 6:31 PM by Julie 2 Comments

Best of 2014!
Today’s Color Challenge (CC474) on Splitcoast uses some very pretty colors…pink, pistachio & vanilla. The dessert option was a little tough…NO STAMPING! That may be easy for some, but it was a little tougher for me because I love to use images and I love to color them. For my card, I did manage the dessert. I relied on die cuts and punches to see me through.

For the vanilla panel, I used only the first half of a Memory Box die cut. The whole die says “Happy Holidays”. But I positioned it on the top of my vanilla panel, taped it place, then let the “holidays” part hang off of the cutting plate. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but it did! The birthday die is a little Sizzix sizzlet and I only used the birthday part instead of the whole “happy birthday”. The flowers, flower border and branches were all done with punches. I sponged a little darker pink ink on the petal edges and added some tiny black dots on the border flowers and tiny flowers. The big green leaves are from a poinsettia die. I used a dk pink Copic to color my rhinestone brad to match.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: NONE

Ink: Memento pistachio (for shading leaves), Colorbox rose coral chalk ink (for shading flower petals)

Monochromatic Flowers & a Circle Challenge

Posted on March 28, 2014 12:32 PM by Julie 4 Comments

I have a couple more cards to share today…first a couple of monochromatic cards. This first one is for the MIX61 challenge, monochromatic. I used shades of yellow..from pale to a dull yellow/gray. The large yellow background is actually a really big paint chip with 3 colors of pale yellow. So I’m hoping the paint chip (found item), ink, Copics, glitter glue and ribbon will be enough to fit in the “Mix”. After coloring my daisies, I added the greeting and a pen work frame around it and the right edge is a bit out of the box. The seam ribbon was colored w/ Copics and added to the handle.
These are the Copics I used.

This next card was sort of a trial run for the one above. It is also monochromatic, but there’s not a real mix of stuff going on so it really doesn’t fit the “mix”. It does fit into the Free For All Challenge, circles! (F4A214).

This one is very CAS (clean & simple). I stamped the big bloom, masked it and stamped the writing along one side. I used pretty much the same Copics as the one above, minus the cool grays. The greeting was stamped on little strip and the two left side corners were rounded. I added 2 Candi dots in the upper right for a little balance.
