I did make some fun cards over the weekend though. Easter is rapidly approaching and I hadn't made any Easter cards, so I got out my new Lawn Fawn Easter set and dies.
I colored the images with Copic Markers and I used Distress inks for the background. I used the new Cracked Pistachio for the green! OH my is that ever a wonderful color! Love it!
Here's another
I watercolored the circle background. The grass was cut out of some paper I had watercolored first, and the bunny and flowers were colored again with Copics and some tiny white dots on the flowers with my white gel pin :)
And the finale :)
This one I watercolored the background with the smooshing technique. I really have to watch auto correct, because it keeps changing to smooshing to smooching! And although I do love my stamps, I don't go around kissing them. Haha! Well I wouldn't share it on my blog if I did anyway...
I watercolored the basket of eggs, but I used Copics on the egg with jellybeans. I don't know why I changed mediums in the middle of this card. I was just messing around and trying out different things. It's okay to do that you know ...
Supplies I used:
Eggstra Special Easter by Lawn Fawn
Stitched Rectangle dies by Lawn Fawn
And since all of this is brand spanking new to me stuff (NBUS) I am adding this to Darnell's NBUS challenge!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you're enjoying some spring weather too!
Hugs,
Kay :)
