An Egg-cellent Easter

I must be in a mood for Easter card.  This is the 2nd card I've made today.  Check out my other blog Inspirations by Rachel for the other Easter card. For this card, I was inspired by Barb Mann from Splitcoast Stamper.  Of course, I changed a couple of things because I could never follow directions – ask my husband (LOL)! Though you cannot see it on the card, I… Read More »

Decorating Eggs

Isn't that stamp image so cute!  I just love the expressions on the rabbits and chick's faces!  It's called Decorating Eggs and is from Victoria Case Art Designs.  The image was stamped in black using Versafine Black Onyx on watercolor paper (Arches Hot Pressed 140lb).  That my favorite for watercoloring because it is so smooth. I stamped it again on scratch paper to mask the main image so that I could lightly sponge… Read More »

Simple Flower

  Today's card is using the Simple Flower Sizzix Embosslits and Sizzlits Little Leaves.  I am using Cameo Coral with Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper.   It turned out a lot better than I thought it would.  Cameo Coral is not a favorite of mine (I've used it perhaps twice since it first came out) but it was one of the colors in Raspberry Tart.  This Embosslits (Simple Flower) is turning… Read More »
