CWS Easter Card

Hello Everybody!

There's a new challenge for March at Creative with Stamps!  The new challenge is Easter cards.

This is my last challenge as part of the DT for CWS.  This has a been a great design team to be apart of.  The ladies are so supportive and creative.  They are truly an inspiration!  Also,-a big thank you goes to Lillian and Monika.  They work really hard to make sure things go smoothly and there are great prizes for you guys in blogland.  Thank you ladies for choosing me to be apart of the team.  😘

Ok onto my card.  :)  I had to use my crazy bird stamp set from Tim Holtz again.  I love these little guys and their accessories!

For the background I used Ken Olivers Color Bursts.  These color powders are so fun when mixed with water.  I made a few backgrounds and this one felt like spring.  I used broken china distress and water for the bird's body and picked raspberry for his tie.  I used stickles for the ears and cotton candy stickles for the inside of the bunny ears.  The butterfly is a stamp I had and the sentiment is also Tim Holtz. 

I used a four blade pair of scissors to make the grass and stamped little eggs and "hid" them.  

We can't wait to see the Easter cards y'all will make!  Be sure when you link up you add our graphic to your post so you can be eligible for prizes! :)

Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...we can't wait to see your "egg-cellant" cards :)

Baby Boy Card

Hello Everyone!

I have finally gotten around to playing with the Ken Oliver Color Burst.  I had inherited the first  main colors and at the Scrapbook Expo bought the metallics.  Then I didn't do anything with them.  Boo!  So I am trying to start using stuff I have.

I will admit I was a little anxious to use them at first because the main colors are powders and there is no control as where they go.  Less than alcohol inks.  But I took a deep breath and started googling.  And here is my first card using this awesome product.

I used watercolor paper, water, and Ultramarine Blue for the base of the background.  And it was so cool!  The color is very vibrant.  Once the background dried I cut out the stork from the silhouette machine.  I love this stork!  I also embossed the background with clouds.  Because of the vertical nature of the embossing plate and horizontal nature of my card, there is space on both sides of the clouds.  But it is fine. :)

I used a metallic blue gelato for the little bag that the stork carries.  And I used pop dots to glue him down.  Then I painted the silver around the card--but not with the metallic set from Ken.  I used Golden fluid acrylics because the color is iridescent silver.

Here's a closeup.
