Carats and Carrots, are not the same!

I thought that since Easter is coming soon, I would make an Easter card for today's inspiration.  No not just a card, a funny one. I hope that you get a chuckle from it too.

Just look at the expression on that bunny's face.  I think he knows that he messed up. 

I started by die cutting the bunny and carrots and carrot tops from Fun Foam.  

Yes, that is not card stock.  It gave more texture to the bunny and I just kept on going with that. 

This is a top folding card that was put onto a base of pink.  I rounded the bottom corners of the
card and base with my corner rounder. The sentiment is computer generated.

 Don't forget to do something on the inside too.  A few more dies cuts and it makes it special. 

Here are the dies that I used for the card.
   How you bean

How you bean shaker add ons

  How you bean stamp set 

Impression Obsession carrots 

Memory Box Peter Bunny 

It is not too early to make those Easter cards.  These dies will be very popular.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have some fun with these die sets like  I did!

Flower Challenge Anything Goes #18

Here I am again with another card for the Flower Challenge #18 anything goes.
Yes, It is another Sympathy card.  I have been needing those too much lately.  I hope that they will bring a little bit of comfort.

Here is my card for this challenge.  

 This is a digital stamp that was a free one from the Kit and Clower class that I am taking.  It is a lot of fun to learn how to add depth and dimension to an image. This one was colored with my Spectrum Noir markers and added to a panel that I dry embossed.   Just circle die cuts for the sentiment, and a matching envelope to complete it.
Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy!

Here is my card, it was necessary to make a sympathy card for a friend recently.  It seems that I am doing more of that lately.

 I used the stamp from Penny Black, Lustrous.  I then used some water color to enhance the flower and background.  Thanks for taking a look.  I will be entering this in the Flower Challenge above.

Hues to Use

When I started coloring this Blossoming Cherry digital stamp,I as not thinking of the Hues to Use.  I just wanted to do something different as I recently colored with pinks.  Which, if course Cherry blossoms usually are.  I had heard about the classes at Kit and Clower and signed up.  This was my practice sheet.  Well, not the first practice sheet, but it turned out too good not to make into a card.  You can imagine my surprise when I saw the colors on the Hues to Use.  

The instructions and video's are so easy to follow and once I got my Spectrum Noir markers organized by color, I was so much easier and I have more respect  for them now. 

See for yourself! 

I used the ditial stamp Blossoming Cherry and made it bigger, easier to color that way. The die is Memory Box Wrapped Scalloped Rectangles and the word die is from DieNamics. I cut the words twice in dark brown and layered them so that they have lots of dimension. 

This was very rewarding and I can't wait for the classes to color hair and faces. 

Think about joining in the Hues to Use, if you do, you could be a quest hostess.
I am also entering this card in the Flower Challange #18 anything goes. \
