I needed a birthday card for a bunny lover. My other half’s sister’s birthday is the day after my brother’s birthday, so that’s two cards that need that extra bit of thought put into them close together. I do have a couple of unused bunny stamps in my stash, but when I saw this bunny in a cup I just couldn’t resist it.
It was the middle of a colouring challenge last summer and the call went out to melonise all the things: pick an image and colour it like a watermelon. I could have chosen something simple like a cute little round mouse, but no, I couldn’t take the easy option, I had to pick the wraith girl…

A magic slider card has been on my list of techniques to try ever since I first saw one. I’ve come across a few tutorials, but the one from Kelly Marie Alvarez in Online Card Classes’ Clear and Sheer class is so well explained it actually gave me the confidence to try it myself. If you have any interest in using vellum and acetate on your cards, I would really recommend this class — so many ideas…
It’s that time of year again, when I have to come up with an idea for cards for twins. I’ve been playing with foil and Minc mist recently, so I thought I’d put the experimenting to good use and create a foil rainbow across the two cards as a background for some Copic colouring.
