The Sun Is Out For Bunny

Hi peeps
I think I'm definitely wishing for warm sun with all these spring bunny cards I'm making! So onto today's card, which is the first shadow box card I've made :)

Card recipe:

• Glitter cardstock from Lawn Fawn for the base.
• Shadow box die also from Lawn Fawn.
• Stencil from My Favorite Things for the sky background, which I ink blended with Distress Oxide in the colour Squeezed Lemonade.
• Distress Oxide ink pads in the colours Twisted Citron, Forest Moss and Antique Linen for ink blending the grass and trees.
• Stamped the cute bunny from Hello Bluebird onto Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock with a Versafine ink pad.
• Coloured him with Faber-Castell Polychromo pencils and fussy cut him out.
• Die cut a banner and stamped a sentiment onto it in green ink and softly ink blended it with the colour Antique Linen.
• Assembled the card together with double-sided tape and popped a few flowery embellishments on for the finishing touch.

Roll On Springtime!

Hi peeps!
Here again! Two days in a row is almost unheard of for me! ;D  I think I might be pining for some spring like weather as I've continued with the cute bunnies and the cutest treehouse ever!

Card recipe:

• Pearlised white card for the base.
• Smooth white cardstock for the scenery.
• Cloud stencil from My Favorite Things, used for the sky, ink blended with Distress Oxide in the colour Tumbled Glass.
• Treehouse die from Hello Bluebird, I die cut this four times altogether then layered for depth. Ink blended the top layer with Distress Oxide in the colours Vintage Photo and Forest Moss.
• Cloud die also from Hello Bluebird, I used this for the treetop, I then ink blended it with Distress Oxide in the colours Twisted Citron and Forest Moss. 
• Ink blended the grass foreground in the same colours as the treetop.
• Stamped the bunnies and wee birds (from Hello Bluebird) onto Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock with Versafine ink.
• Coloured them with my Faber-Castell Polychromo pencils and fussy cut them out.
• Die cut the treehouse add-ons out of dark yellow cardstock.

• Assembled the card together with double-sided tape, 3D foam and liquid glue for the teeny tiny bits.

And another card finished!

O Christmas Tree

Hi peeps!
Wishing you all a lovely peaceful Christmas! I hope it's filled with lots of lovely pressies and happy memories! Here's my last Christmas card of the decade!

As always I started this card by trimming some white pearlised cardstock for the base and piece of smooth white cardstock to the same size. I ink blended the smooth white card with Distress Oxide ink pads in the colours Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet. I then splattered this with white gouache for the snow effect.

I die cut the tree scene from Hello Bluebird, five times and layered for depth, I used some gorgeous glitter cardstock from Lawn Fawn for the top layer. I used this cardstock again for the snowy hillside and a stitched hillside die also from Lawn Fawn. 

I stamped the cute wee woodland critters and tree from Hello Bluebird onto Strathmore Bristol smooth cardstock with an Archival ink pad, coloured them with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush pens and fussy cut them out.

I stamped the sentiment with a Versamark ink pad onto black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. And for the finishing touch I applied Stickles Frosted Lace glitter glue onto the bear's hat!
