CIP - Easter Bunny

Hi CIP fans! I needed to get an Easter card done for someone, and chose this sweet Bugaboo bunny image! I had fun with the Creative Inspirations Paint adding color to the background papers, and giving the bunny some shimmer here and there. I've used Sky Blue, Blush, and Green Olive from the Creative Inspirations Paint colors. The card is cut from a Sizzix die for a tent card, and the ovals are Spellbinders.

While I haven't used any of the seam binding on this card, I did make some while I had these colors out. I only use 2 small drops for about 3 yards of white seam binding, and mix it with a spray I make that has an alcohol base. You'll see there are 2 different pinks. There was more than a drop or two left over, so I actually added a bit of water to it and got the lighter shade. I'll be using them in some upcoming projects.

Here's the back of the card:

Here is the seam binding:

CIP - Leprechaun Duo

Hi CIP fans and followers! I just had to stamp this sweet Leprechaun for St. Patrick's Day, and to follow along with the current Go Green challenge! I had fun with Creative Inspirations Paint, and added a bit of paper piecing. I've used quite a few shimmery paints from the Creative Inspirations Paint store, along with the Deliquesce Metallic Copper embossing powder for the sentiment. The paint colors used are: Copper (all along the scalloped edge), Carmel and Raw Sienna (stockings), Emerald and Evergreen (Shamrocks and jacket accents), Green Olive (hat sash), Gold (coins and buckles), and Sunshine (star shape in coins).
