Easter is coming up and I had to get this card ready for the hostess of the brunch I'm going to. And Sweet Stampin' and Shopping our Stash both want Easter cards.
Stamped, watercoloured, trimmed with a stitched rectangle. I thought of doing the chicks' little sweaters in various colours but my friend's favourite colour (like mine) is blue.
While I was away recently, another friend of mine's husband passed away. So this is for her. It will work well for Addicted to CAS "Bloom" as I've got a single bloom and for Word Power as the sentiment is the more predominant part of the card.
I put the flower in my MISTI and coloured it with Tombow markers. I used a grey ink for the sentiment as I thought black would look too strong. I die cut the panel with a stitched square and popped it up on fun foam. I added a drop of liquid pearls to the centre of the flower.

I love your Easter card Susan, with the adorable little chicks with their knitted coats, and knitted by the sweet and prettily coloured rabbit..a really cute card, and then the sympathy card with that beautiful single flower done with your Tombow markers straight to stamp, a technique I haven't done for some time, and some lovely words too. x

ReplyDeleteAs so often happens in life, there is both joy and sadness here today. Your Easter card is so sweet and I love how Mama Bunny made all the little chickie's sweaters the same color! And your sympathy design is heartwarming and poignant. It will bring your friend comfort. Happy Easter, Susan! Hugs, Darnell

The knitting bunny is so cut, Susan, as well as all the chicks in their blue sweaters! Love the single flower. This has always been one of my favorite stamps! It's so sweet with the pink bloom!
