Have a colorful Easter...

Hello, hello!
  
This cutie is from the retired Colorful Easter set from CC Designs. I've actually not only had him stamped up since last spring, but I had even started coloring him, getting the skin, hair and eyes done before setting him aside. Easter passed and he has been waiting, unfinished, all this time. Now that we are back in Easter card making season it was time to finally get this boy onto a card. I love the humor in this scene, with the little egg leaping out of the basket and that look on Henry's face is priceless. The story absolutely tells itself. It was pretty quick getting the background all colored in and it feels good to see this completed card finally come together.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Have an egg-stra special day...

Hi there!

This past Saturday was a review at Sweet November Stamps so I figured that I would re-visit the cute Egg Hunt set during my Live over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. These adorable egg hunters were paired with the Front Porch Background which I decorated using images from the Front Porch Spring Decor set. This gave us a lot to color and even though we ran over the two hour time by about 15 minutes, I still think it was worth the extra effort. We had fun adding a stone path to the yard and giving the house a rustic cabin look with the cedar siding and green trim. After the Live, I added the sentiment to the bottom of the card as a final touch. With so many cute kiddos included in the Egg Hunt set, you can bet that I will be making more cards with them before Easter Sunday arrives.  ;)

Toodles!

Supply list:
cardstock- Papertrey Ink and Catherine Pooler
stamps- Sweet November (Egg Hunt, Front Porch Background and Front Porch Spring Decor), Mama Elephant (sentiment)
ink- Memento tuxedo black, Catherine Pooler icing on the cake
My Favorite Things A2 stitched rectangle stax set 2
Sharpie extra fine white pen
Spectrum Noir clear glitter pen
Copic markers:
sorry, I didn't keep a list but you can see the colors used here

The evidence is in...

Good morning!

I've got another card that I made for the Cheer and Charm digital stamp release at Stamping Bella and this time I went with a clean and simple design. This cute pair playing detective are the I Spy Rosie and Bernie the Unicorn image and the sentiment is also included with it. Once again, I opted for the open hair version so that I could give Rosie a head full of red hair. Which looks great with her pretty pink plaid detective ensemble. A strong grounding shadow is the only other thing that I colored in, falling in the same direction as their eye line. Together they lead the recipient's eye right to the strategically placed heart that coordinate's with Rosie's outfit. 

Just FYI, you can still grab the full release bundle at a 15% off discount, but the offer doesn't last forever. ;)

Have a good one!

Egg-stra special...

Hello again! 

It's a review weekend at Sweet November Stamps and since spring is definitely in the air in my neck of the woods, I was inspired to color up more cuties from the Postage Pals: Hoppy Easter set. Once again I started with the A2 postage collage die from Waffle Flower and filled each square with bunnies, chicks and one adorable duckling. The Year Round Post Marks set adds to the postage theme and I stamped a larger sentiment onto a banner to span across the card. It feels good getting another card done using this set because Easter will be here before we know it! 

I will be coloring more Easter sweeties over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page at 11am PST today... I hope to see ya there! :)
