Happy Birthday card

I'm having such a hard time believing that it is Wednesday already! I've been going nonstop for the last two days and they passed in a blur. I made this card for a great friend of mine for the 25th anniversary of her 25th birthday ;)

I used a combination of stamps from the set of Wrapped In Joy as well as Just For You. I punched a circle through the front of the card to reveal part of the colored image underneath. All images were colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS.

Hunny Bunnies

I made this sweet one layer bunny card for this week's TSG challenge which is to put down the markers. That's right, no markers allowed! Since I don't really use markers, this wasn't much of a challenge for me lol!



Stamps: Hunny Bunnies
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake, Soft Sky
Paper: White
Accessories: masks made from Post Its for bunny and basket, sponges, Post its, Prismacolor pencils, OMS

Recipe:
* Create card base from white cardstock
* Stamp bunny, mask, stamp basket, mask (both images will be masked at this point)
* Add another Post It across the card so that it lines up just above the bottom of the basket. Sponge towards the bottom of card in Crumb Cake ink.
* Remove Post it and place it on the opposite side, sponging Soft Sky ink towards the top of the card.
* Remove all masks.
* Stamp egg in the bunny's paws
* Color images with pencils, blend with OMS
