Easter with Lawn Fawn

When I saw these stamps I knew I had to have them for Easter.  They arrived just in time for me to make several cards for family.

All of the cards as 4.25 x 5.5, and here they are:

 

For this card I used:

• Lawn Fawn Eggstra Special Easter Stamps and Dies
• Memento Tuxedo Black
• Copic Markers: Y06, Y15, C00, C3, C5, R81, R85, YG03, YG07, E37, E35, V12, V04, B12, B16
• Elizabeth Craft Designs Outdoor Edges
• Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles Die

To  make the card, I stamped the images, then colored with Copic Markers.  I then cut the images with the matching dies.  The grass was cut twice.  The background was cut with the Stitched Rectangles die.  All of the images were then added to the background, and then it was added to the card base.

Penny Black Garden Chair - Take 2

Using the Garden Chair stamp, I decided to try water coloring the stamp with the Distress Markers, in almost a no-line fashion . The card is 4.25 x 5.5.

I used the following to make the card:

• Penny Black Garden Chair (1175K)
• Close To My Heart Just to Say
• Distress Markers - Pine Needles, Mustard Seed, Vintage Photo, Squeezed Lemonade, Pumice Stone, Dusty Concord, Worn Lipstick, Ripe Persimmon, Storm Sky, Gathered Twigs, Spiced Marmalade, Forest Moss, Old Paper
• Memento Tuxedo Black
• Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles

To make the card, I stamped the image with Old Paper on water color paper.  I chose Old Paper, because I wanted light to no lines showing on the final image.  I then used the distress markers and a water brush to color the image.  It was the first time I had tried this, and I liked the results (although I need a bit of practice).  Once dry, I used one on the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut the image, and it was added to the card base.  The sentiment was then added to the card.

Penny Black Garden Chair

I purchased this stamp at a yard sale, and finally decided to use it.  The card is 4.25 x 5.5.

 

I used the following to make the card:

• Penny Black Garden Chair (1175K)
• Close To My Heart Just to Say
• Distress Markers - Pine Needles, Mustard Seed, Vintage Photo, Squeezed Lemonade, Pumice Stone, Dusty Concord, Worn Lipstick, Ripe Persimmon, Storm Sky, Gathered Twigs, Spiced Marmalade, Forest Moss
• Memento Tuxedo Black
• Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles

To make the card, I colored the stamp with the variety of Distress Markers.  Once completed, I spritzed it a few times with water, and then stamped in on water color paper.  The image was then cut with one of the Stitched Rectangles die.  This was then added to the card base, and the sentiment stamped.

By the Tide Birthday Card

Here is a card I made using Stampin' Up By the Tide stamp set that I've had for a while, but never used. 

This card is 4.25 x 5.5 and was made with the following:

• Stampin' Up - By the Tide stamp set
• Close to My Heart - Joyful Birthday Occasions stamp set
• Memento - Teal Zeal and London Fog
• Versamark
• Zing Clear Embossing Powder
• Grumbacher Miskit Friskit
• Simon Says Stamp - Stitched Rectangles

To make the card, I stamped the fish from By the Tide with Teal Zeal Memento Ink.  I then masked the fish with Misket Frisket.  Once dry, the kelp/sea weed was stamped with Memento London fog.  The Misket was then removed. The Sentiment is from Close to My Heart and was stamped with the Teal Zeal.

The image was cut using a Stitched Rectangle die.  This was matted to a piece of silver card stock that was also cut with a larger Stitched Rectangle die.  The card base was stamped using the kelp/sea weed and Versamark.  This was then embossed with clear embossing powder.  The image was then added to the card base.

Copic Colored Lighthouse

Here is a card that I made on a cold day.  Reminded me of warmer weather!

This card is 4.25 x 5.5.  To make this card I used:

• Copic Markers - R59, R29, R27, R24, YG99, YG97, YG95, C7, C5, C3, T2, E11, E27, E29, B99, B97, B95, B0000
• Wink of Stella - Clear
• Memento Tuxedo Black
• Stampabilites - Beacon of Light - LR1015
• Simon Says Stamp - Stitched Rectangles

To make the card, I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I then colored the image with the Copic Markers.  For the background of the image, I used B0000.  I used the wink of Stella on the metal of the walkway, flagpole and the water.

The image was then cut with the Stitched Rectangles die.  This was then mounted on blue card stock which was also cut with a larger Stitched Rectangles die.  The entire piece was mounted to the front of a gray card base.
