Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #29 ~ Picture Inspiration

Wow what a hard week, March was my mum's birthday, mother's day and seeing as she was Irish, St Patricks too, definitely miss celebrating with her, new memories just don't compare...

We have a lovely springtime challenge over on the

Paperbabe Stamps blog today...

and I've created a fun little card featuring an easter Birthday bunny.

I had so much fun creating my little Adorimal bunny with cute Kawaii face.

I used two colours on the solid stamp parts to give a darker edge to the image. I wanted to keep it soft to keep with the colours in the picture so used a brown ink for all the outlines.

I am loving the speckled egg, I coloured it with distress inks before stamping with the Spritz and speckles stamp set. 

The birthday Sentiment and Houndstooth were heat embossed in platinum yum. I've added a little extra detail with the dots from the Birthday wishes set.

I'm also entering this card to a few other challenges...

Eggciting Preview... Club Anya & Friends :)

Good Morning thought I would hop by to show you the preview over at Club Anya and Friends Blog.... Monday TGF will be releasing the very pretty Easter Anya and the team have created some stunning samples...

So I have based my card using Dawn's sketch over at Inspirational card sketches.

Well... I have had these easter stickers in my stash collecting dust for some time now and it was a pleasure to actually get to use them and how nice that these papers just went so well too.

It's a bit tricky to see I hope you can by clicking the close up... I have given Anya a suede textured outfit, using liquid applique although it looks a bit like towel but feels nice and soft.

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Cosmo Cricket: girl friday; Bo Bunny: cardstock stickers; Stamps: TGF: Easter Anya (released 1st Feb); Ink: Memento: black; Copic: markers; Other: Frilly ribbon; liquid applique; 3D foam;

Thanks for stopping by and hope to show you another preview tomorrow, HuGs Kim :)

Tee Hee... had a little fun with this creation, I have very little stash in the way of fruit or veg so had to create some of my own. Easter of course brought up carrots with the Easter Bunny on his way.

I made the carrots from photo anchors which I trimmed and the stalks where created with my daisy punch. I just trimmed each flower to get three leaves. I added more leaves to give impression of carrot field. The bunny I wanted to look like stuffed toy, the eggs are hidden in the carrot field (or course).

Easter Daring Cards

Now, on to this weeks mid week dare. Its a nice simple one, happily, and all you have to do is make an Easter card ! We have purposely kept the little extra simple because its Sue's first time to dare on Friday - and she has a really tricky challenge lined up for you !! (evil laugh here).

Quite a quick card to make for me. I embossed the vellum with cuttlebug folder, I adhered on the fold with tape and behind the striped paper. The cup cake and eggs are all die cuts from the new PM retro flower paper. I'm quite impressed with these papers, they're great colours and patterns! The stamped sentiment is from see D's set & I added a little glitter bit hard to see!
