Easter Blessings

Good morning, it's a President's Day here so a holiday. It is great to have a long weekend with family.

Today is also the start of a new challenge over at Jan's Digital Stamps Challenge. She has some gorgeous new releases this month and my card today is showcasing Cottontail Easter a cute set that is ideal for your Easter crafts:

What I Did:

I used my graphics program to build the scene of the bunny, the eggs and the sentiment all of which are included in the set. I then printed this onto stamping card and colored with Copic markers. I recorded my first ever You Tube video while coloring which you can view here.
I then matted an 8x8 in Card base with Yellow cardstock and a spring like paper. I also matted a smaller Easter paper with the yellow card and positioned this on my card
I added my matted image with using foam tape to give dimension. A few nuvo drops just balanced the design.

What I Used:
Jan Mahew: Cottontail Easter digital stamp collection
Stamping card: X-press It
White Card Base: Craft UK
Yellow cardstock: Core'Dinations
Green floral paper: Lili Of the Valley (Retired)
Easter Paper: Digital download (unknown)
Nuvo Drops: Tonic, English Mustard

The challenge runs for 2 weeks and is an anything goes challenge so if you make and create there is no reason not to come and join us!

Some Bunny Loves you

Good afternoon! We had a huge dump of snow yesterday but it's supposed to disappear quickly and we have temperatures of 60+F forecast for next week! - Here's hoping!!!!

I'm kicking off some Easter makes with my post today, The Scrapoholic Candy Shop has released some adorable Easter digi stamps this week and I couldn't resist coloring up this adorable Bunny Butt!

Isn't it just the cutest???

It's from the Coloring Fun Collection, the sentiment is separate but I decided to place it within the egg - that's the advantage of digi stamps you can play around with the size and order of everything. 

I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir Markers and die cut that and the checked design paper with Gina Marie's stitched circle dies. 

The papers are from Lili of the Valley, I matted the pink onto my card base and used the others to accent my image.

I found the ribbon in the clearance section in my local Walmart's Store this morning and couldn't resist popping this and another 6 roll into my cart :)

I added some enamel dots just to balance the card - a super cute card for a super cute image!!!
