The Gifts Of Spring Bunnies

This is a case of Angella Crockett's card, today's Featured Stamper on Splitcoast. I kept the layout and colors but changed everything else.
Gifts Of Spring rabbits stamped in black on Kraft cardstock. I colored them in with the white gel pen and some Souffle gel gens for the noses, grass, and butterflies. I shaded various areas with Pebbles, Inc. pearlescent chalks which are so pretty and shimmery in real life. I love chalks for adding additional color and blending.
The background was made with one of the stamps from the Sprinkles set (a Saleabration choice and one I love), also used the white gel pen to highlight. Sentiment is from the new Abundant Hope on Kraft from a Cuttlebug tag die and the SU oval in black. White organza ribbon secures the tag sentiment.

Ocean Commotion shaker card

We spent the day down at the Seattle Waterfront and a few hours in the Aquarium. I loved watching the otters and seals, they are so funny. This card was inspired by the seahorses we saw, they are pretty cool too. This is a shaker card with the Big Shot Top Note die by Sizzix and the smaller window was made with Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels. Stamp set is Ocean Commotion, filled with Soft Subtles beads (I think these are retired too). Not sure where I got the glittery cardstock, I've had it forever.

The Gifts Of Spring

I love this retired Stampin' Up Easter sets, it is a classic keeper! I embossed the bunnies in silver on white and backed with Brushed Silver cardstock. Fleur de lis Nestabilities dies (2) layered behind image and card embossed with SU Elegant Bouquet folder. White half pearls and taffeta ribbons added to accent.

Charming

Another entry for this weekend's Virtual Stamp Night on SCS. This was to use the Faux Metal technique inspired by the Olympics. I tried to portray the medals of gold, silver, and bronze (copper was close enough). I used the Stampin' Up set Charming and embossed this medallion stamp in the 3 colors and added matching brads. All supplies are Stampin' Up. The paper is retired. Image was stamped using markers of Pretty In Pink, Bordering Blue (stamped off once) and Close To Cocoa.

Nature Silhouettes

This card was inspired by the sweater in the challenge designed for the Olympics. I used a maple leaf (Hero Arts) clear embossed on Kraft cardstock with Riding Hood Red and Chocolate Chip. The designer paper, eyelets, and ribbon are retired SU. The layout is from this week's sketch, Mojo127.

Go Green

I used Best Creations shamrock paper with Garden Green and Whisper White cardstocks by SU with the Occasions mini set Go Green. The white panel was embossed with the Spellbinders Impressabilities die for added texture and also the Swiss Dot folder for the designer paper. Green is a color I almost never use but it sure works for St. Patrick's Day!

My Matryoshka

This card was inspired by my little collection of nesting dolls I have shown here. I used the colors from both on my image that was colored using a variety of Copic markers. The sketch is from the SCS challenge today and is a great way to use some of your designer paper. This one is Basic Grey's Infuse with Stampin' Up's Soft Suede cardstock and the epoxy brads from the current Occasions mini. Hope you like it!
