Seeing Bunnies!

I was so excited when asked to do these cards for the blog! All of my cards are made for Operation Write Home.

I love this image from Inger Harding. I colored him with copics. The blue bling is g studio. The cuttlebug embossing folder used on Colorbok yellow cardstock is called D'vine swirl. The sentiment was made in Word. The fiber is some I have had in my stash it reminds me of Easter grass.The vintage look is Tim Holtz seasonal paper. It is distressed with Tim Holtz walnut. The cardstock is colorbok in green and one in yellow both are distressed. The punch is Martha Stewart scallop. The buttons were from a mixed bag of buttons from Oriental Trading. The ribbon was Micheal's ribbon. The sentiment is from word. The sentiment is distressed with Tim Holtz old paper ink.

This card is interactive in that the egg opens to reveal two little bunnies. The patterned paper is Paper Slab 6 I have had for years. The cardstock is again Colorbok. The pink bling is g studio. The ink is purple from color place. The charms are from Oriential trading. I love the pink egg and bunny. The sentiment is typed in work. The stamps were a set from Oriental Trading. I think the egg looks like it is sitting on grass with this fiber. I love this fiber.

I was able to get some other cards for Easter made they are on earlier post if you would like to see them.

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!

Love is in the Air

The above cards are for the Operation Write Home Sunday Sketch Challenge.  These will also be sent for the Archway Love/Valentines where Archway matches the donations of cards with cookies for the troops.

The purple card is a digistamp rose colored with Copics.  The heart stamp and stamped sentiment is from American Crafts.  The card stock is Bazzill and the purple dp is from my stash.  The purple fiber is also from my stash.  Funny I colored 9 of these roses to make love cards. I only did one in purple incase I could not make it work for a card.  It turned out to be one of my favorites.

The little girl in the next card is from Simply Inger she is colored with copics.  I have had fun this last week with the copics.  I was not sure I would like coloring with markers as I have loved the watercolor pencils and I usually do not do well with markers.  The watercolor blending covers how bad I am.  But I have been happy with most of my images.  I used the same papers and stamps as above.  The white square is embossed with hearts that my mom made for me.  The yellow is cardstock that been scalloped punched with Martha Stewart scallop border punch with a pink ribbon.

This card will go to OWH as well.  I just fell in love with this card.  It just strikes at my heart. I usually don't have that happen with my own art work.  I loved how she worked out on the pink gingham.  This was in my stash from years ago.  I had gotten dischanted with scrapbooking after my scrapbook area got flooded from a water leak and damaged all the albums I had made.  I am glad I keep what I salvaged and found cardmaking a few months ago to be something I enjoy.  I may even start scrapbooking again.

Love Copic Style

I ordered copics off ebay and got them Monday. I have not had a lot of time to practice with them. These are the third and fourth images I tried. The others had bad mistakes. I think I will like the copics once I get more practice.

  I love these images from Inger Harding. I think they make the card and do not need anything to distract from them. The cardstock is Bazzill in burgundy. The rose pattern is colorbok from the rosewood collection pak. I hope I did justice to the image. I added the lace to get a more vintage feel.  

This reminded me of when you were young and made valentines for the young love of your life.
