Easter Cards Continued

 Welcome!  I have more cards to add to the box to send to my Mother's Life Care Center.  And I have a request-can anyone identify the digital image that I used in the cards above? I failed to identify the source of the image in my file.  But I thought it was perfect for Easter cards. I hope I am not infringing on any copyrights.  I printed the design on watercolor paper, inked the edges with a pastel Copics, and attached to an assortment of pastel card bases.  Used printed messages inside. This is an easy and quick card to mass produce if I need more.

These are 2 cards from my stash that I modified to fit the Easter theme and added inside messages. 

Stay well and be safe!
Have a great day!

Pink Poinsettias

Hello! As I clean up my work desk, I find pieces of cards that I started and set aside.  As a goal this year, I am trying to use some of the discarded pieces and complete the projects.  This card was a result of finishing the stamped image using GKD's  Festive Frame by Melanie.  I had stamped and embossed the image with silver EP on white CS and left it at that.  Today, I trimmed the image, colored it with some Copics using pastel colors, and attached it to a patterned paper card base.  One less discarded image. The paper is from a pack that I just had to have when I found it on sale many moons ago but only used a couple of sheets. Time to use that too.

Added a gingham ribbon and sentiment stamped on a label die cut.

Pastel Shabby Christmas

Hello! I don't do many pastel Christmas cards but I was very pleased with how this turned out with a very soft vintage look.  I chose pink colors for the poinsettia accented with soft blues and green.  The Power Poppy stamp from the Poinsettia set was stamped with Memento Espresso Truffle ink on Ivory CS and colored with Copics R01,11,20, B0000,21,45,YR00,02,YG81,93 and Memento New Sprout Marker.   I distressed the edges and sponged with Distress Ink Antique Linen. The image was attached to an blue embossed layer also sponged with the same Distress Ink. Ribbon of Blue Satin with Organza and Silver Thread  was attached to the corners. I heat embossed the sentiment on Vellum and fussy cut the word.  This was attached with special tape for using with Vellum.  The card base is Ivory Textured CS.  I added some more sparkle to the petals with Clear Star Pen but it does not show in photo.

Bears in Love

 

Hello!  At The House That Stamps Built,  Deonna  is hosting  Designer’s Choice Challenge DCC72 and she would like us to create cards with a fur or winged things theme.  Of course I had to do a furry teddy bear theme. I have made this card with a Repeat Impressions stamp Bear Hug stamped on a pastel pattern paper with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored with Copics.  I paper pieced the sweet bow and cut the image with a circle die and layered on a pink circle.  I used a pink card base and layered with 2 panels, attached the image and added some hearts punched with a EK punch. Added some cut out words from the paper. All patterns from Pink Paislee  Color Wash pad.
