More Bunnies

Two more Easter cards . . . and I forgot to keep track of which markers I used for these, too.  Sheesh.

This guy is by Whipper Snapper Designs . . . I'd work for jelly beans, too. Or chocolate.  Or both.


This super cute dude is Hoppy Easter Bunny Wobble by StampingBella . . . and I would definitely follow him . . .cuz he has chocolate!

Oh My Orchids

My mother-in-law has orchids. . . the most beautiful orchids.  She's definitely got a green thumb. . . maybe two.

I, on the other hand, can kill a silk plant by looking at it too long . . . sigh . . .

Good thing there are lots of stamps of plants and flowers and such out there. . . like these by Power Poppy.  Can't kill an image of a flower, right?


April's theme for stamp club happens to be "In the Garden" . . . so I decided to use these stamps.  I actually stamped and colored the orchids a number of times. . . just to play around with different colors. . . because orchids are available in at least a bazillion different colors.  I had no idea.

Here's what I came up with for my club card:


And these are the Copics I used:


The die cut label by Spellbinders was inked with Peanut Brittle Memento ink after I embossed it. The sentiment is by Kennedy Grace Designs and I used a banner die from Avery Elle or Lawn Fawn . . .I can't remember who makes those dies. . . to cut that out.  The little banner is also inked with Peanut Brittle Memento.

Now. . . I had no intention of cutting out that image . . . none . . . but one of my green markers decided to pool and drop a big old blob of ink . . . and there was no way I was going to start over, so I pulled out my scissors and a craft knife . . . see? Everything can be fixed.

And here's another card using the same stamp . . . but this time I stamped the orchids in Gray Flannel Memento ink instead of Tuxedo Black.


And here are the Copics I used:


The Stitched Oval dies are from Memory Box.  I also created a mask so I could sponge around the orchids with Antique Linen Distress Ink to make the "white" look brighter.
