IC171 Rabbit Trio!

This card is for today's Inspiration challenge on SCS. Stef didn't have to tell me twice that I could use some of the pieces from Fitz and Floyd to make an Easter card. This bunny bowl caught my attention right away! (Unfortunately i don't know how to transfer pictures very well so it's hard for you to see!) Please check it out
HERE!

I've had these cute bunnies from Whipper Snapper for awhile and they are so quick to color! I used my copics, of course! The bunny punch from Martha Stewart (that's new!) is punched into dp from Basic Grey.
I used Kraft cardstock for my card base and stamped in with Papertrey Ink's Retro backgrounds in Vintage Cream. Nicole Heady does such inspiring work!
So this one is pretty simple and I thin I could mass produce it pretty easily and maybe get my Easter cards out on time!
Thanks for takin' a look! It's a wonderful sunny Saturday here in Western New York (Yes, it's still cold!) I've got some house work to get done and then I am going to work (well, play!) with some Magnolia stamps. My sister-in-law invited us for dinner tonight. She's a great cook and is making Corned Beef and Cabbage (Do I hear a YUM!). I love it AND I don't have to cook!
Well, to work!
Hope your Saturday is all YOU wish for!

Good morning! I've been at this card for while and it's almost noon here! I think I should have quit on it sooner as the flowers are sort of overkill! It seems I am incapable of just using one flower or of using flowers without Martha Stewart leaves! My focus was intended to be this beautiful Tilda and my new found love, stickpins. So I should have stuck to a smaller embellishment in the upper right. Anyway, this Tilda is from the Love Collection, but I think she looks like she is in her Easter outfit. Remember getting a new Easter dress and hat for church? We always did. I only wish I looked this good in a hat! Never could wear them! My Tilda came from Magnolia-licious!
She is available there right now on EZ mount ready to stick on an acrylic block. I just love her!

Here is my close up. And for the first time, I've taken a picture of my markers. The Ciao that you can't see are E00, E02, RV000, and R85. I forgot to photo the browns which are E33, E35 and E37 with a darker brown then used for touches.

Upon posting this I'm going to go in and edit my Lilac Tilda post with the copics used. It was the post on Thursday, Feb. 26, in case you are interested!

Thanks for taking a look. I think I'll do another card with this girl and ditch the flowers! I think she needs a little shimmerz on her hat ribbon, too! Wow, can I spend a long time on a card!

Have a great Saturday! Cheryl

Cake Nouveau-IC161

Good morning! The inspriation challenge really put me in a mood to create a different type of card! I really need practice with the clean, classic looking cardNicole Heady the head guru at papertrey Ink is wonderfully talented. I remember a card in yellows similar to this on her blog, so I must give her credit. I didn't go look the card up for fear I would copy hers exactly! She's so good!
So this is my version. I used one of the clear blossoms from PTI and embossed it with white dots from PTI's Dotted set. My first mistake was not using my embossing buddy to clean the flower! (don't look too closely, please!). Then I stamped a larger dot in Pallette ink in a Rose color. After 2 rows I embossed the lines with my Scor-Pal where my ribbon would go. Then I completed stamping rows of dots the rest of the way to the top of the card. I put my ribbon around and tried to put the brad through the ribbon so it wouldn't show. I hadn't cut the ribbon long enough! Grrrr! So I glued the ribbon down and spread the brad and put the flower on top. That's why you can see the brad a bit. I tried to hide it behind dots! Below is the cake which inspired me this morning! The site that Stef has linked through the challenge has the most amazing cakes. Check it out here!
As always, thanks for coming by today! A special thank you to those who have commented that they come by everyday! I love you!
Happy Saturday!
