Hopping bunny rocker


 
I was looking through some snippets of paper when I came across a piece of patterned paper with cute bunny images on it. I also found some carrot-themed paper and coordinating sticker, and an idea formed.

Using a snippet of peachy-colored paper, I die-cut the largest circle I have, then cut a slighyly smaller circle from the carrot paper, and created a rocker card. I also die-cut the bunny with a circle and matted it on a circle cut from a rust-colored snippets. The sticker was already a circle, and I found a green snippet to mat it on.

Thanks to the fun papers, this card was quick as a bunny to make.

I love rainbows

 

I got this image in the Technique Junkie's clearance sale because it's perfect for spring. I could have used rainbow colors to color it, but since the patterned paper is so colorful, I chose a more limited palette of yellow and purple to color the image, with lots of blue, purple, yellow, plus some red in the patterned paper. The card is a tent style card with the main image sticking up in tent-topper style. I added a couple die-cut clouds to the scene and used floss for a simple little bow.

Pretty pink roses


 For this birthday card, I used a Rose stamp image from Studio Katia with matching die. The rose is clear embossed, then watercolored, using stamp reinker as the coloring agent. Since I think this rose blossom is gorgeous, I wanted to keep it as the focal point by using a very simple layout and a simple sentiment.
