Please pop by and see what our lovely and super talented guest, Bonnie, and the DT have made, super cute and beautiful creations!
I made an Easter card using the little bunny and the colours of the flowers and eggs for my inspiration.
I recently saw a Tim Holtz video where he used Yupo Paper, Alcohol Inks and then stamped with Grey Archival Ink over the top and then used a cloth to remove the colour, it gives a beautiful ghost like effect. I used flower stamps from a Tim Holtz Wildflowers Stamp Set and from the set and a text stamp to create this effect. I then used a Burlap Layering Stencil and removed a little more of the ink using Blending Solution. I really love the effect this gives.
I used Simon's Exclusive Picture Book Bunny, coloured with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and Tim Holtz Wildflower Dies to create the meadow scene.
I love the way Macarena coloured her flowers on THIS tag so I used a similar technique of blending the colours over watercolour paper, spritzing and the die cutting the flowers. So much easier than colouring them after die cutting and I love the random effect of the colours.
and I finished the inside using the same Burlap Layering Stencil and Wildflowers Stamps. I also added a couple of little butterflies punched out of the paper scraps.
Thanks for looking!
