I have reconnected with my first love of crafting. . . . stamping. It's been years, and although I cleaned out a lot of my stash, I've been able to use some of those vintage stamp designs that I fell in love with years ago. Of course, like any stamper, if I see something new and super cute. . . it must be added to the collection. This Easter card is one of my new finds. I have always loved Penny Black. I used to stock their stamps in my store (a very, very long time ago). Over the years, they never seem to loose their flare for beautiful stamps.
I cannot create a card without Shimmerz Paints! I just can't imagine not including Shimmerz in any creation.
Easter to me, is a time to celebrate our risen Lord, and celebrate new life. We reach for pastel colors, and have the itch for those sunny, warm days, that haven't quite arrived. We think of Easter eggs, and candies, those new Easter outfits, and time spent with family.
This adorable bunny inspired me to dust off those pastel colors, and celebrate all that spring is.
My color medium of choice was Shimmerz Creameez. They are highly pigmented, but have a hint of shimmer to them. Just enough shimmer to catch the light and make any project pop a little more.
I hand painted the striped background with Ride the Tide, Piggy Pink, and Freshly Minted Creameez, and painted the bottom portion of the background with Ride the Tide. Once dry, I used a polka-dot stencil and Salt of the Earth Paste-eez to add my textured little dots to complete my background.
Here are the products I used on my little Easter card. It was super fast, and oh so easy. Who has time for complicated? Not me!
