Happy Easter...

 

Hello again!

When I saw the new Build-a-Basket digi set that was recently added to the TGF store, I couldn't wait to add it to my collection of scene builders. Not only that, but I also had to make some cute cards with it before Easter arrives this weekend. The set includes so many fun goodies to fill the baskets with and while the basket itself could easily be the star of the show, you know me, I love having a cute character leading the story. So I paired this basket with the older Easter Ian digi and blew him up really big to fill most of the card behind the basket. I like how it looks like he set up a selfie with his phone in the grass, LOL!

And of course Easter Anya had to get in on the fun as well, so she got her own, up close and personal selfie with her own special Easter basket. I followed the same simple layout design for both cards since there was no need to compete with the extra large cuties and their colorful Easter hauls.  :)

Stay sweet!

Hippity Hoppity...

Hello friends!

I've got a Scenic Saturday post over on the Blogabella with one final Easter card. I've saved the absolutely charming Bundle Girl Loves Bunny Wobbles for this last card, as they are one of my favorite stamps from the Spring release. The image is overflowing with love and affection as it captured this sweet moment.

Bundle Girl Loves Bunny Wobbles is a pretty large stamp, taking up a lot of space on a standard A2 sized card. This led me to go with a horizontal format and stamp them off to the left so that I would still have plenty of space for a sentiment. For my color palette on these two friends I went with soft rosy pinks and light lemon yellows that capture the first blush of spring. A simple floral print was added to her outfit for some extra interest. Next, I proceeded to extend the pale yellows into the forest landscape that I hand colored in by using the palest yellow Copic markers for the sky. It's a simple twist from the traditional blues that are usually used but it goes a long way towards adding to the overall warmth of the scene. Very light greens and browns add a hazy hint of the trees growing in the distance and I slowly transition to bolder, more saturated greens and browns as I add the trees and bushes that are growing closer to us, the viewer, in the foreground. The open sky between the trees became the perfect place for me to add a sentiment and I actually combined two from the Easter Sentiment set, for my message. For a cute finishing touch I also chose to add some white flower embellishments to either side of the bottom of the scene because I think they provide a nice balance and create a visual triangle with the big white bunny in the center of the card. :)

Stay crafty my friends!

Happy Easter...

Hi there! 

I really wanted to make another Easter themed card using some sweet critters from Purple Onion Designs and this time I thought Wooley, the lamb would be super cute. Not wanting her to be alone, I stamped the chicks, Flo, Mo and Bo all around. Just behind them I added those great Easter Eggs, giving them plenty of reason to be excited. To create the background I first stamped the Rustic Fence then the Countryside Horizon just above it. With them all being little farm animals I love how this hints at their Easter egg hunt taking place out in a pasture. The color palette is bright and sunny, adding to the over-all happiness of these cuties. A simple Happy Easter sentiment, stamped in green, wraps up the design.  :)

Later gators!
