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:

Feel Better Soon

Hi crafty friends!  I've colored up another of the sweet Lacy Sunshine Stamps.  This one is Eleanor and Pickles - Feel Better Soon.  I just love her glasses!  I've glossy accented the frame, and added tiny little bling as well.  The seam biding is colored with Creative Inspirations Paint, the Sapphire.  I've also used the Deliquesce Black embossing powder (from CIP), and the Blush paint.  The die cuts are Spellbinders, and the bling swirl is individual pieces of bling that I've added.

The challenges I'd like to enter are:

Lacy Sunshine Challenge #3 - Double Trouble

CIP - Mixed Media - Bugs and Butterflies

Hi CIP fans and followers!  I've been busy with a little challenge with a friend, so I thought I'd share some of that today.  Some are not so easy to see with a glare, and the lesson I learned was not to seal the pieces before taking a photo!  For a clearer look, please feel free to check out the video on my YT channel: HERE.  I've used a ton of shimmery paints from the Creative Inspirations Paint store, and you can probably tell that we were working on bugs and butterflies.  The colors used through the seven pieces combined are: Winter Frost, Fairy Dust, Buttercup, Sunshine, Evergreen, Emerald, Onyx, Tickled Pink, Burnt Sienna, Sky Blue, and Aqua Marine.  I've also used some Angel Dust to add a glittered layer to one piece. 

Here is a closer look at the CIP products that I've used:

Emily Lil Duckies - Just for You Card

Hi crafty friends!  I've used another of the really fabulous Lacy Sunshine Stamps adorable images, Emily Lil Duckies.  She was last week's share for the challenge (you just had to email the artist, Heather Valentin, and ask).  I had actually requested her too late to get a card done, but Heather kindly shared her with me, so I really wanted to get her entered in the new Lacy Sunshine Challenge.  She's been colored in Copics, sparkled with the Spica clear pen, and layered on some older BasicGrey paper I have.  The border punch is by MS, the flowers are a mix of Recollections and WOC, the die cut leaf is SB with Angel Dust CIP Paint, the bling is Recollections, and the sentiment is Hero Arts with Creative Inspirations Paint Deliquesce Embossing Powder.  Of course I had to get several other images to play with, so I'll be sharing more of those soon.

Here's a close-up of Emily Lil Duckies:

Pickles Dinosaur Ride

Hi crafty friends!  I found a website with the cutest images a few days ago, and then found that they have a challenge blog as well!  One of the really fabulous things about Lacy Sunshine Stamps (besides the adorable images), is that the owner/artist (Heather Valentin) will share a sweet image to be used in the Lacy Sunshine Challenge.  All you have to do is email her and ask!  This sweet frog is Pickles, and the image is this week's share if you ask.  Of course I had to get several other images to play with, so I'll be sharing more of those soon.
