Happy Easter

Hello friends! I'm sharing a mini slimline Easter card featuring digital stamps from the LTTS Doodles Etsy shop!


These sweet bunnies are from the Spring Bunnies stamp set.  I printed the bunnies on Neenah card stock, colored them with copics, and fussy cut them.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the center of the flowers and polka dots to the girl bunny's top.  I used a black gel pen on the bunny's eyes, the overall button, and the carrot's eyes.  My card measures 3.25" x 6.25".  I inked a panel of bristol card with Spun Sugar and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks and splattered it with thinned white gouache.  I die cut a white frame from card stock and adhered it to my card with foam tape.  I adhered the bunnies with foam tape and stamped a sentiment from my stash in the center of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Hugs, Anita

A Box Full Of Hugs And Kisses

Hello friends!  Today I'm over on the Heffy Doodle Blog sharing a fun storyboard card.

I cut a panel of white cardstock and inked it with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.  I used the Imperial Storyboard Backdrop Die to cut a frame from white cardstock.  I adhered the frame onto the inked panel with foam tape to give my card some dimension.  I stamped images from the Wrapped With Love stamp set and colored them with copics.  

I die cut the images using the Heffy Doodle Mini Die Cutting Machine and the coordinating Wrapped With Love dies.  I stamped a sentiment on the card and then adhered the images with foam tape.  I used a black gel pen on the cat and bunny eyes and the dog's nose.


Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day!
