Happy Easter Everyone!

Well, once again I didn't get my Easter cards out in time, so I will just post it here for all of you. If you are a family member and want the actual card even though it's late, just reply to this post (post a comment link is under the body of the post) or email me. :)


First a visit from my Easter Bunny (I know, NO DIGNITY for Gracie! Look at that SULK - lol)



And the card for all of you with love from me!



It's hard to see all the detail and dimension I put into the card, so I took a lot of picture - click the pictures to see larger versions. Some highlight the bling (sparkle), some the embellishments, and some the layers I built up! The "bunny ears," "tie on tail," and "bunny slipper tails" are dimensional puff paint.
































I had to add a covered inner lining secured with a tiny latch (photo turn) so you wouldn't see the writing from the front of the card.

It's really hard to see, but there are a lot of layers in the back image. Many of the faces, the mouse and bird, and duck beak are popped out. The "ground" is dimensional puff to resemble gravel. The "Happy Easter" is Glitter embossed and then lavender glaze filled to look a bit like stained glass. There is a close up of the latch above too.


I hope you all DO have a wonderful Easter and enjoy this card!

Fun with 0.99 Magnets . . .

I had fun coloring in this kids play set of 3 monster magnets. It turned out to be one of the better $1 bills I dropped in Joann's. :) I used my Glittery Gelly Rolls and I think they came out really cute! :) I'm just a big kid at heart still. (By the way, does anyone else thing these paper towels would make a great ornare/pricking template?)


More thank you cards for friends!
