I may have run out of bunny digi stamps, but I still have plenty of Power Poppy ones waiting to be coloured. I chose these tulips to make an Easter card for my mum and my aim was to use some softer, more pastel, colours and not immediately reach for the super-saturated vivid reds and… Continue reading Easter tulips
I think I've pretty much used all of the Easter bunny digi stamps in my collection so, rather than go hunting for a new one, I took a different tack for this card for my other half's sister. I'd been trying to organise the various cut files I'd acquired over the years and came across… Continue reading Layered Easter bunny
The only other Easter card I made this year: the inevitable Easter bunny... Any excuse to colour up a bunny for my other half's sister. It's so satisfying making a card for someone who truly appreciates it; she keeps all my cards and has even been known to "look after" ones I've made for her… Continue reading Easter bunny and egg
I may not have made that many cards this year, but I still manage to take my time writing them up for the blog. Though Easter was less than a month ago, so it could be a lot worse... And I only made two Easter cards this year — this one for my mum and… Continue reading Vintage Easter egg
I don't make many Easter cards — just one for my mum and one for my other half's sister because she loves bunnies. For my mum, I decided to go down the floral route. Which means more Power Poppy flowers. And this time I treated myself to a new digi; Heart Abloom is a heart-shaped… Continue reading Easter flowers
Another month, another challenge image from Gerda Steiner. And, thanks to the Daily Marker challenge, I have actually completed my entry in the first half of the month for a change. This time we had a cute pair of bunnies to work with. I always like to take the "challenge" idea to heart and actually… Continue reading Spring bunnies
I don’t make many Easter cards, in fact this year I’ve only made two: one for my mum and one for my other half’s bunny-loving sister. This card was actually made last year, but never made it onto the blog. Short of colouring directly onto the card base, this card couldn’t have been much simpler.… Continue reading Easter: Bunny and bird with basket
I'm not really doing Easter cards this year, but I had to make one for my mum. I like colouring bunnies, but it is nice to do something a bit different — a little unexpected — so I had a think and came up with a non-traditional chocolate dragon in an Easter egg. I had… Continue reading Easter: Chocolate dragon
I’ve been so disconnected recently that I nearly missed the start of the latest Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. This is challenge number seven and I’ve taken part in all the previous ones; I haven’t always coloured every day, but it’s always been fun, not only creating, but also seeing what everyone else is… Continue reading Easter: Bunny and eggs
What: Day twenty-six of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. Another Easter card — luckily I don't need to send many, there's not much time left to get them finished. Inspired by: Kristina Werner's masked flower wreath. Supplies: stamps: Hero arts - flower garden Lawn Fawn - happy easter colour: Avery Elle - pigment… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #26
What: Day twenty of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. I don't usually send Easter cards, but any excuse for making cards 🙂 The background is blended Distress inks, the rest of the colouring is painted Distress inks, and the very restrained embellishment is white gel pen. Inspired by: Julia Altermann at Just One… Continue reading The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge #20
What: I coloured the bunny and balloon for day ten of The Daily Marker 30 day colouring challenge. Then it occurred to me to use it for an Easter card with a suitably spring-influenced watercolour background and a die cut sentiment. Supplies: stamps: The Greeting Farm - lucky bunnies Clearly Besotted - happy birthday (happy)… Continue reading Easter card: die-cut Easter
The first card I made was an Easter card for my mum. Unfortunately, I had it sealed in its envelope and in the post box before it crossed my mind that I really should have taken a photo of it... I don't remember the exact details of it. It was made before I started on… Continue reading My first card
