Fable Friends Easter Bunny Card for #PCC332

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I have another fun card for you for this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. My card this weeks uses the Fable Friends stamp set. This is just the cutest spring, child, and Easter set. By changing the sentiment it could be for any occasions. Here's a look at my card.

And here's the sketch that inspired my card today. You can click on the sketch image to visit the Paper Craft Crew page and check out what all the other designers came up with.

Tips & Tricks:

I started out by stamping the bunny from the Fable Friends stamp set in tuxedo black ink, because I knew I was going to be doing a little Stampin' Blend coloring. I used Smoky Slate (light & dark), Granny Apple Green (light & dark), and a little Petal Pink (light & dark). I then used the color lifter to soften some of the petal pink in his belly and some of the shadows.

I layered the bunny on a piece of Berry Burst Cardstock and then layered on a piece of Smoky Slate Cardstock. I stamped the Easter Greetings in Granny Apple green on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and layered it the same way berry burst and smoky slate. The smoky slate layer for the sentiment was cut out using the stitched shapes framelits.

I popped the sentiment up using a couple stampin' dimensionals. I used the 2017-2019 In Color Designer Series Paper in Berry Burst as the background. I used a small strip on the inside of the card. To finish off the card I added a few basic rhinestones three of them I colored with Granny Apple Green dark.

No Line Stampin' Blends Coloring featuring His Grace Stamp Set

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card that I created for my churches card ministry back in January. This is the second card that I created for that month. Each week we pick a sister church and send them a card letting them know that we are praying for them. Each person in the congregation signs the card. The hardest part that we have is actually getting the card around the right way.
I used the His Grace Stamp Set, and did a little no Line coloring to create my card. I love the simple subtle images in the His Grace Stamp Set. This stamp set is a Easter set, but Has a few sentiments in it that make it a versatile set. Here's a look at my card.

This is a super clean and simple card, and I love how the simple no line coloring turned out. Well this is not really the way you do no line coloring but it is my super simple way of doing it and a super easy way of adding a little drop shadow to some of the images. Each month I make sure when I am designing the cards I always have a little purple in it. Purple is one of our church colors. I have a really cute one for this month that I will share with you in another post later on this week.

Tips & Tricks:

I started out by stamping the largest floral image in soft sea foam ink and then the little single flower. I then did a little coloring. To get the super soft look I prefer to feather the ink starting with the darker color and then doing the same thing with the lighter.

Thanks for dropping bye today, I hope that you have enjoyed my little card, and just remember that this card could go to anyone for any occasion. You can find all the supplies I used in the shopping list below.

Happy Stampin'
