Egg-stra special card

 Newton and his friends want you to have a happy Easter on this card. I used the Newton’s Nook Springtime paper pad cut into banners and their Newton’s Easter Basket stamp. The image was colored with colored pencils and Stage Lights sequins from Trinity Stamps were added for accents. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Have a Happy Day!

 This little bear is properly dressed for sliding down rainbows! This card was created for a Lawn Fawn color challenge using the four colors you see in the rainbow plus the yellow of the sun. I ink blended the background in Distress Ink Tumbled Glass, and then used Distress Oxides in Broken China, Prize Ribbon, Wilted Violet, and Picked Raspberry for the rainbow and Squeezed Lemonade for the sun. The little bear is from Lawn Fawn's Beary Rainy Day stamp set and was colored with Copic markers and cut out with the coordinating die. The sentiment is from the same set. I finished off the card with some sequins from Trinity Stamps.

I'm back!

 

I certainly didn't mean to go nearly a month without posting, but being out of town and sick messed up my posting schedule. Here's a family of bears to make up for it. They're making the best of a grey day in their colorful coats, boots, and umbrella, and the little one is certainly enjoying her puddle jumping. The raindrops were created using Lawn Fawn's Fairy Dust stencil paste and their Rainy Sky stencil. I also used Lawn Fawn's Grass stencil and their Freshly Cut Grass ink for the grass, and their Manatee ink for the sky. The Beary Rainy Day stamp set is also Lawn Fawn's and was colored with Copic markers. Finally, I stamped the sentiment on a Simple Wavy Banner, also from Lawn Fawn, bending the Make a Splash sentiment to fit the banner.

Hoppy Days Ahead

 More bunnies from the Hoppy Days Ahead set by Simon Says Stamp. I used the papers from the March 2022 Card Kit of the Month, which is also where the stamps came from. The bunnies, flowers, and sentiment are all in the set. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and colored them with Copic markers. The background dies are from Newton's Nook Slimline Frames and Windows set. I popped the bunnies, flowers, and sentiment  up on some foam squares to give the card some dimension.

Bunny Hugs

 This card was sent to my oldest daughter in South Carolina. I told her to share the hugs with my granddaughter. The images are from the Simon Says Stamp Hoppy Days Ahead set and were colored with Copic markers and cut out with the corresponding dies. The grayish paper is also from Simon Says Stamp, while the card base was inked with Hero Arts Field Green and a blending brush.

Newton Loves Springtime!

 

Posting a day early because I won't be able to tomorrow. I was so honored to be chosen as a Designer's Favorite in the last Newtons's Nook Challenge #168, which was a sketch challenge. This card is for Newton's Nook's Challenge #169, which was a theme challenge and the theme is Think Spring. I chose a stamp of Newton surrounded by eggs as well as his bunny and chick friends. I used pink and polka dot paper, popped the image and sentiment up on some foam squares, and accented with some fun sequins.
