"Thank you "for lending a helping hand

 Hello, today I'm using one of the new digis from Whimsy Stamps and Dustin Pike: Chocolate Bunny.

The sentiment is from the Kindness is Contagious set, also Whimsy Stamps.

I thought they went well together maybe it needed Quotes, but hey if you thought a Bunny, especially the Easter kind, would be helpful, that's on you ;-).

I colored the image with alcoholmarkers and I wanted it to look like chocolate bunnies and also those marhsmellow peeps. Some details with a white gel pen and foamtape to mount the image.

The cardbase is inkblended with Distress inks: Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn.

You can find the digi in the Whimsy Store:  https://whimsystamps.com/products/chocolate-bunny-digital-stamp

AAA Card Challenge #286: Follow my Lead

 Hello, this fortnight we have a Follow my Lead card. Our leader is Kristin and she wants us to follow the card that was her DT call entry. In Kristin's card I see an inblended and diecut fern or palm(?) frond, but I don't have that and so to give it my twist I inkblended and diecut a moon with flowers from Decotime.

I sized the die on a cardpanel and inkblended Distress inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Salvage Patina; trying to keep the yellow to the moon shape, but it's a hollow moon, so much was lost I didn't anticipate, oh well, still like it.

Then on the leader's card there's some splattering and a sentiment, I did black and pearl colored shiny ink splatter and the Moon sentiment is from the same Decotime set.

AAA Colourful Challenge #14: mar-apr

 

This month we have a yellow and green theme and I have to say, it wasn't my favourite, it reminds me too much of a Dutch Football club, but I came up with a card I kinda like.

I swiped Distress inks onto some panels of cardstock ( Squeezed lemonade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness), adhered some double sided adhevise on the back of these panels, so when I diecut the words, they become stickers.

I've used the Leane Creatief NL teksten for this and even the little dots inside the letters have now become a sort of embellishment,

And I made another card, with Marianne Design paint tube I got in January (Marianne Design LR0857), Same Distress colours and Whimsy Stamps Cutie ABC dieset.

I'm sure  you can come up with something clever, you can enter your card here.

Hey Ho let's not go

 Hello, today I'm using one of the new Whimsy Stamps digital stamps: Bunny Coffee from the Dustin Pike line.

I prepped the image  and printed it, colored then cut it out ( I think the Scan n Cut needs calibrating :-( )

If I stuck to my normal routine I would have cut it first, but I colored when I was at work, stupid..don't look at it too much ;-)

I then cut some sort of grass from green card and inkblended yellow Distress ink on the cardbase, I thought that looks Easter like.

The sentiment I made up and printed with the digi, it's a play on a famour Ramones songs...Bunny doesn't look eager to get going until he's had his coffee.

There.s a few newly released digis and you can find them here:

AAA Card Challenge #285: Anything CAS goes

 

Hello this fortnight we have an Anything CAS goes challenge, with the optional twist of Spring/Spring Colors.

For my card, I diecut the Happy from pink card I colored myself with Distress ink Picked Raspberry and placed it on the cardbase. Then I stamped the Birthday from Happy  saying stamps set. So far both are Whimsy Stamps products.

Then I decided to tuck in some ephemera from Simple Stories ( floral bits). Pink, green, yellow sure say Spring to me and if not, it's still Anything CAS goes haha.

Looking forward to what you make.

AAA Birthday Card Challenge #71: masculine

 

Hello this month we celebrate all things Masculine.

I didn't plan on using this image, but I was rummaging through my stash and I thought a stag looks manly and magnificent, maybe if the person getting this card is a hunter or outdoorsey kind of man?

Don't know, but I liked it, it's actually a Christmas stamp but to me it feels like it's carved out of wood.

The stamp is really old from Craft Sensations and no longer available at Action.

I stamped it and the sentiment (Whimsy Stamps Simple Sentiment Strips) with Versafine black ink, let it dry.

The I meant to apply Distress inks (Salvaged patina, Shaded Lilac and Tumbled Glass) but I found there was enough ink on my brushes to give a hint of colour. I used home made masks with circle openings, I wanted it to have a big of colour and I thought these were kinda manly on the cold side of the rainbow.

I look forward to your makes, do masculine cards stump you as well?
