3 Challenges, ONE Card. What a Challenge!

A Little Note

It's going to be hard to top the "Make Your Own Bunnies" Card and Video I posted yesterday, but I think you will be very pleased with this little card. I enjoyed yet another challenge of incorporating more than one challenge into one card. Here were the requirements of the 3 challenges:

Inspire.Create Challenge #62

*Blank Slate* #062

How easy was that? The sky really was the limit on this one!

Sunday Stamps

*Sketch with any shape Tag* #SOC224

Global Design Project

*Let it Grow* #GDP227

Projects that feature let it grow

So maybe this one wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I choose the Painted Poppies (all supplies listed below) and the Honey Bee Designer Series Paper.

(Free Sale-a-Bration item right now).

I stamped the Poppies in Versamark, then heat set with Gold Embossing Powder. I very loosely watercolored them with Merry Merlot & Rococo Rose with an Aquapainter. The sentiment "a little note" is from the January Paper Pumpkin "I'll Be Yours" which I also embossed in gold. The Bee is from Butterfly Gala, which I embossed with Black Embossing Powder. I added the little dashes to create movement with a black marker. Then I placed the sentiment strip on the Honey Bee DSP, added some retired gold twine, then splattered some Rich Gold on the background. It came together pretty easily and anyone can recreate this quite easily.

I hope it inspires you to play along in ANY of the challenges, or ALL of them! lol

Let me know if you play along, I would love to see what you create.

Thanks for visiting me on my Blog today =)

Happy Stampin'!

Make Your Own Bunnies!! Way's to use it Wednesday Ep.2

Welcome back to "Way's to use it Wednesday's" Where every Wednesday, I show you something you can do with an item you may already have, that you may not have already thought of.

I'm starting to make my Easter cards. Call me an eager beaver, or BUNNY! lol

However, I have to mail some Easter cards to some friends in Cuba, and it seems the mail literally takes months, and months to get there! We sent ourselves a PostCard from Havana, Cuba on January 5th this year, and it has still yet to find it's way to our mailbox *sad face* I wonder how long it will actually take? Anyhow, to not have to risk my friends not getting their cards, I'm getting an early start =)

Aren't these little bunnies just too adorable?!? When I saw one of the little dies in the Detailed Bands Die set I instantly thought of bunny ears. Well, that was it. I was on a mission to create some little bunnies. I finally came up with the idea of using the Balloon Bouquet Punch with the 'ears' die and started making my card.

Watch the video to see how they came to life and learn a few tips & tricks =)

Wasn't that a fun video!? Thanks for Watching =)

The full supply list is just below here. Let me know if you create some of these adorable little bunnies yourself. Feel free to share a link of your card with me too. I love reading your comments and seeing your projects.
