Cards for two of the big holidays today!
First up an Easter card for Addicted to CAS ("Bunny"), Shopping our Stash ("Hippity Hop"), and Inspired By ("Bunnies").
I die cut the brick wall and layered it over a piece of cs sponged in various red and brown Distress inks. The bunnies are cut from a leftover piece of light brown smooshed cs, and layered for more substance. I went over their ears with a pink coloured pencil and sponged a bit more brown around the edges. Trimmed the panel with a stitched rectangle die.
And then of course, keeping on top of my Christmas card making, this one is for Festive Friday's Earth Day challenge. For my three things from their list, I chose earthy colours, wooden elements (the snowflakes), and recycled elements (the corrugated panel is part of a Tim Horton's coffee cup sleeve). Jingle Belles is also having a World Earth Day challenge to use some recyling (again,I used part of a coffee cup sleeve). It's also for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown ("Kraft and White"), My Time to Craft ( "Rectangle Shaped Cards" - I've got a rectangular card base, and two rectangular panels), Neglected Stuff (I've had the tin of wooden snowflakes for years and never use them), and Word Power (my large sentiment is the big focus of the card).
I trimmed down a Tim Hortons corrugated coffee cup holder and randomly brushed a bit of white paint on it. I stamped the sentiment on a white panel and added the corrugated panel next to it, then added the white panel to a kraft card base. I glued three wooden snowflakes to it.
