Somebunny special...

Hello again!

It's another review weekend at Sweet November Stamps and I've inked up the last two kiddos from the Egg Hunt set that I hadn't gotten on a card yet. This little boy and girl are racing to get to the egg perched on the faucet, each one hoping to add it to their basket. The backyard fence and trees where colored in by hand, setting the scene for a fun and exciting Easter morning. I will be coloring another Easter scene over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page later this morning at 11am PDT... I hope to see you there!

Later gators!

Easter Wishes...

Hello!

Another Scenic Saturday has rolled around again and I'm back on the Bellariffic blog with a card celebrating Easter. Tiny Townie Bethany Paints Easter Eggs is just one of the many sweet Easter images at Stamping Bella and I can't believe that I haven't colored her up before now.

Before I dove into coloring this pretty little painter I first found a colorful patterned paper that I could pull my entire color palette from. This is always a fun challenge that helps me practice mixing and matching marker colors to create just the right shade. Bethany is as pretty as a picture surrounded by all of her Easter eggs and I added a blooming forsythia bush by hand behind her to brighten up the scene a bit more. The sentiment is from the Easter Sentiment set and I heat embossed it in white to stand out against the green grass. The next time you are stuck for what colors to use on an image, search through your craft stash and take a cue from a sheet of patterned paper, whether you use the paper on your card or not.  :)

Stay crafty my friends!

Every bit of wonderful...

Hey, hey!

The Perfect Mix set from Impronte d'Autore has been sitting on my desk for a week or so now and the cuteness of these little pegasus finally wore me down. I also had this multi frame die already cut out just waiting to be used so it felt like a good match. In the smaller panels I decided to add the mini pegasus from the My People set, adding a sense of depth and distance within this simple cloudy sky scene. I also grabbed the Fantasy Post Marks set from Sweet November Stamps to add the postage theme to this magical mini slimline card. I gotta say, these happy little winged ponies just put a smile on my face every time. :)

Laters!

Hoppy Spring...

Olo!

I've inked up this tree from the Bunnies and Robin set from Colorado Craft Company a few times already but I've always altered it a bit, either adding or subtracting characters. So when it came time to make a card yesterday, I figured it was finally time to use this sweet scene as-is. Three baby bunnies are looking up at the bird in the branches of a flowering tree. I colored their flying friend into a bluebird for this spring scene and surrounded them all with lots of greenery. The sentiment was borrowed from the Happy Easter set and I stamped it at the bottom of the scene.

Stay crafty my friends!

A special Easter...

Hello there!

I pulled out the retired Meadow Bunnies set yesterday because I wanted to use these cute bunnies with the newer Santa Postage die from Hello Bluebird. The postage collage format definitely breathes new life into the older stamps. I did borrow the Easter egg from the Little Painters set to help boost the Easter theme and the sentiment from the Spring Banner Script fit the largest panel perfectly. To finish off the postage theme I used stamps from the Sweet November Year Round Post Marks set. It's always fun when I can revisit older sets in my craft stash.  :)

Toodles!
