Today’s make... Another 6 x 6 card for Easter! I just love these cute little bunnies... This card is made using an All Occasions Collection embossing folder...this one is lattice hearts...I used Distress ink in Picked Raspberry to add colour to the heart section...as with the other Easter card  I cut out the center panel using the All Occasions spring Occasions... I then stamped the Easter wishes sentiment from this stamp set by Creative Stamps...Easter Chicks & Bunnies onto the diecut panel...next came the gorgeous bunnies 😊 These cuties were coloured using my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers... Left bunny is coloured with GG1 & 2 with AP1 for the ears which also have clear Wink of Stella on the pink area...Right bunny is coloured the same but with MB1 & 2 for the body...both bunnies have black glaze pen on their noses and white gel pen highlights. The next step was to mat and layer the front...for this I used Craft Perfect in Raspberry Pink which I gut

Today’s make... A card made using the free gifts that came with Papercraft Essentials magazine issue 170. These were a cut and emboss folder and matching butterfly detail stamp as well as a few sentiments...however I did not use the sentiments on this card! I started out by cutting the white layer completely with the folder...I then cut another butterfly by placing a piece of cardstock just over the cutting part of the folder...the next step was to stamp both of the cut out butterflies with the detail stamp...I then searched my stash for a piece of paper that I liked and found this teal coloured patterned piece...next I decided to colour the butterflies in a semi corresponding colour for these I used Spectrum Noir GT1...I also decided to add some glitter glue from Scrappy Cat in light green with rainbow glitter to my butterflies. The next thing I did was to take a scrap of Centura pearl cardstock in platinum and added this behind the butterflies to hide the colo

Today’s make Is a card made using product from several different brands... It has a 6 x 6 white card base which has been matted and layered with Tonic Studios Craft Perfect card stock in Aubergine Purple which I gutted using a large square die. The next layer has been embossed using the Dotty Floral folder from Apple Blossoms All Occasion Collection. I used Spectrum Noir marker PL3 to colour the flowers and added Simply Creative 3mm self adhesive gems to the centres. I next cut out the sentiment strip using Apple Blossom’s Spring Occasions set. The next step was to ink the sentiment which I took from Creative Stamps Easter Chicks and Bunnies set (which is where the bunnies came from also). The cute little bunnies have been coloured with Spectrum Noir markers... Left bunny - MB1 and MB2 Right bunny - RB1 and RB2 Both bunnies have AP1 for the insides of the ears and IG2 blended out with the colourless blender marker and these areas have also been covered with a Wink of Stella

Today’s make... This card has been made using Lawn Fawn Critters from the past and Rawr stamp sets. The background was created with Creative Expressions iridescent shimmering watercolour paints Set 2 Carnival Brights, Purple Violet, Persian Sea and Midnight Black. The stars in the back are made using a Heffy Doodle star stencil and Cosmic shimmer metallic gilding polish in enchanted gold. I really like the effect that this card has and I hope you do too!
