Loves Rubberstamps - Easter

Hello Friends!

Easter is quickly approaching!  Have you told the Easter bunny what you want in your basket?  Well, our challenge this week at Loves Rubberstamps is quite fitting - Easter!   We have a fantastic sponsor this week - Sweet N Sassy.

I don't typically send Easter cards, but I thought that I could use this cute little Bild Malarna image, Mimosa Easter as a fun card to cheer up a co-worker.  I went with bright papers by Echo Park, This and That and Glitz Cashmere Dame collections.  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with copics.  I then used the Spellbinders Large Oval die to cut out he image and she is framed with Spellbinders Large Scalloped Oval die.  I used a scalloped punch by Fiskars to add some texture to the layers of paper.  It is finished off with some lace, tulle, flowers and a button.




Copics used:  
Skin:  E000, E00, E21
Shirt/Socks:  BG11, BG13, BG15, BG32, BG72, BG78
Hat/Slippers/Pants:  E30, E31, E35
Egg & Bow:  R00, R21, R22
Egg w bow:  Y00, Y02, Y04, Y06

The inside uses matching paper to the outside.  The sentiment is by Stampabilities.  I added a bow and a cross charm to the inside to go along with the Easter theme.

Loves Rubberstamps - Sensational Sunday Inspiration 3/3

Hello Blogging Friends!

Welcome to March! Spring is just around the corner and I can't wait for the warmer weather.  I love getting outside and feeling the warm sunshine and working in the yard.  Of course by the end of summer, I am never as excited to do the yard work.  Hmmm...

Today I am sharing Sensational Sunday Inspiration with Loves Rubberstamps!  So my inspiration starts with the cute little Bild Malarna image, Mimosa - Hat.  She looks so sweet just sitting there.  I stamped the image with Memento - Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with copics.  After I colored the image, I fussy cut her out so that I could perch her on a window ledge.  The window ledge is actually the My Favorite Things Round Banner die.  I also used pop up glue dots to give her some extra dimension.

The background is done with the Simple Stories Harvest Lane paper pack.  All the papers coordinate so beautifully.  I peeled down the corner added some stitching and a brad in the corner.  I thought it needed something extra, so I used a Tim Holtz adage ticket for the sentiment with some burlap, button, twine and some lace. 




 
Copics used:
Hat/Pants:  E40, E41, E43
Skin:  E000, E00 E21
Hair:  E09, E09, YR21
Shirt:  YG93, YG95, YG97
Boots:  E71, E74, E77, E71, E74, E77
Flowers:  YR20, YR21, YR24
Background airbrushed with BG10, BG11, BG13
 
For the inside, I used coordinating Simple Stories Harvest Lane paper pack with some extra lace to trim it out.

Fabulous!

It seems like it has been forever since I have been on here.  I spent a lot of time this week touching up wedding photos that I did last weekend.  I had over 1000.  But at the end of the day, I was very happy with them for being an amateur.

Today I have for you a cute little frog holding some flowers.  The stamp is by Bild Malarna.  I used My Mind's Eye papers and a cute little piece of lace off to the side.  I colored the image with copics and prisma pencils.  Then inked the edges to give it some dimension.







The inside of the card uses a Stampin Up sentiment.  I used a spellbinder die to cut out the center piece.  It was inked with painted shutters distressed ink around the edges.  

The colors remind me of spring.  A good choice for today, as we woke to a very hard frost and later in the day had large snow balls falling from the sky.  Nothing stuck to the ground, but it is not even Halloween yet =-(

Until next time, make the most of each moment!
