This is the card for April at Expresso Yourself - CLP FB group. I just love this bear with, esp. the bunny ears! It always cracks me up! 😁 He decided to bring Coffee instead of eggs for Easter. 😉 I colored them with Copics. All stamped images are from 3 different stamp sets of Essential by Ellen. Three designed papers are from Lawn Fawn.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. HOPPY Easter! Love, Eve
Aloha,
I purchased this wine glass dies and coordinated plastic shaker pouch some months ago, wanting to make a card with these. It's for my best friends' wedding anniversary. I found this background paper from my "long time-hoarded" paper stash (!!) which had some shimmery, "heat embossed" texture on the purple flowers which I thought I could match with the shimmer all around on this card. You can't see it on the picture well but also, the purple sentiment strip was attached to the shimmery light yellow card stock. I could just attached the wine glasses on the background paper directly but I found old Lawn Fawn Bokeh paper so, I sealed the back of the wine glasses with the bokeh paper first after I inserted all the shaker pieces. I wish Lawn Fawn makes more of these Bokeh papers but that was from several years ago... I attached gold little puffy heart stickers from old Simon Says Stamp kit. I first thought of attaching everything straight on the base of the card. Then, one day, I planned to finish the card, and just touched the edge of the card on my desk by accident. Since all the elements weren't adhered, it moved, and I ended up liking this diagonal position! LOL Hope they'll like it!
Aloha~
My first card for this Easter. One day, I felt like making a colorful background, not really thinking of making an Easter card but wanted to get "inky". 😊 So I started to ink the white card stock, in a circular motion with the little ink blending tools to just "color" it, with "spring" "cheerful" colors, and this is what I ended up with. Then, I saw a metal bunny stencil which I just bought on my desk...actually I bought an Easter designed mug cup at Ross, and the stencil came with it! LOL I felt like I had to use it and started to ink in white after the colored background card stock was dried. Unfortunately the white pigment ink didn't show much, so, on my desk, I also saw the jar of Lawn Fawn's "fairy dust" gel paste which I'd never used before. Sometimes after receiving my order, I just don't have a chance to use, and just leave them on my desk, so I wouldn't forget it, and will eventually use it! lol It worked very well on this card. Only thing I had to be careful about using this stencil was to lift it up, cuz it is a metal, and hard to handle. Anyways, I think I did a good job using this stencil. 😊 The sentiment on the front and paper for that short sentiment are both Lawn Fawn's.
Inside, I stamped the long sentiment from Poppy stamps, with one of Kaleidacolor ink pads I have, for many years, to match the colors on the front. Sorry, I forgot to take that picture...
Have a nice weekend, y'all! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Hugs, Eve
