Hippity Hoppity Gone Bird Crazy!

Hello Everyone! I can hardly believe Easter is less then a month away! We are having spring like weather her in Sacramento I always love this time of year with all the beautiful flowers blooming and a green lawn. I know some of you are still getting snow so hard for me to imagine! 

Happy Easter Bird Crazy 

or are they Crazy Bunnies?

Spray a piece of Mixed Media Cardstock with Distress Spray Stain and let dry. 

Tape a Layering Stencil to the colored piece. 

Apply Texture Paste with a Palette Knife, scrape off the excess and let dry. 

Color Bird Bunnies with Distress Markers adding a little speckle with the Distress Spritzer.

Layer card as shown attaching the Crazy Bird Bunnies with foam tape. Add your messages using the Crazy Talk set. 

The die for these little guys cuts out all the pieces with awesome accuracy. So much easier then to fussy cut all those tiny little pieces. 

Don't they just make me smile…...Hippity Hoppity! 

Have a great day and as always 

thanks so much for stopping by!

12 Tags of 2015 / Holiday Card Series - February Inspiration

Hello friends! I loved the tag from February! The layering of the background, the stitching on the felt star and the flash card brings a nostalgic feel to this card. Ephemera can be an easy way to create a patchwork for the base of our project.

12 Tags Holiday Card Series #9

I made this card while on a visit to a friends house (Paula Cheney) and used her sewing machine. I guess it's like using someone else's tools that your not familiar with. We laughed so hard…and I don't think my sewing is very good but it definitely adds charter to the card.
