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:

Witchy Halloween Card

I had purchased this sweet little witch from Bugaboo Stamps recently, and just had to put her on a card.  I've colored her with copics and added some Creative Inspirations Paint over several of the colors.  The circle and doily are Spellbinders dies, the silver dew drops are from the Robin's Nest, and the little glitter bat and cat came from a sticker sheet.
