Inky Paws Challenge #239 - Color Challenge

I hope you're having fun with this color combo... Dusty Violet, Spring Green, Sunshine Yellow, and Cocoa Brown!! I couldn't help but make one more Easter card! I know... Easter's over, but I'll save this one for next year.

I stamped the adorable kitty and peeps from the Newton's Peeps Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I colored them all up with Copic markers. I die cut the cute kitty and peeps using the coordinating Newton's Peeps Die Set.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Kitty: R00, R20, C00, C2

Collar: V000, V12, V15, Y15, Y28

Peeps: Y11, Y15, YR23

Basket: E21, E23, E25

Ruffle: YG11, YG03, YG63

Flower: V000, V12, V15, Y15

Bow: V000, V12, V15

I paired up these cuties with a few scrap pieces of the beautiful Pastel Basics 6x6 Paper Pad. I love this simple yet fun design! The pattern paper scraps are all die cut using a fun stitched die from the Frames Squared Die Set. They are all adhered directly to the Kraft card base. I popped up the kitty and peeps with foam tape.

Inky Paws Challenge #239 ~ Color Challenge {Week 3}

Hello there crafty friend! Happy Easter!

 Sharing some more inspiration for the Inky Paws Challenge #239 - Color Challenge! You have until Friday, May 2nd to get your entries in for the challenge and a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

Inky Paws Challenge #239 - Color Challenge

Such a gorgeous color combo for any occasion but this time I had to make an Easter card. Our colors for the challenge are Dusty Violet, Spring Green, Sunshine Yellow, and Cocoa Brown!! 

I stamped the cute images from the Easter Postage Sampler Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Colored them up with my Copic markers and then I die cut them using the coordinating die from the Easter Postage Sampler Die Set.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Bunny: E21, E23, E25, C00, C2

Eggs: YG11, YG03, YG63, V000, V12, V15, Y11, Y15

Tulip: V000, V12, V15, YG11, YG03, YG63

I used some scraps leftover from a previous card that I had die cut using the Postage Stamp Layout Dies. I blended lightly with Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the little rectangle pieces. And then I cut three slightly larger rectangles and adhered the little postage pieces together. This gave them a little more stability. I adhered the cute images to the postage pieces and set them aside.

I blended a fun background on the front of a white A2 top fold card base using the Bunny Tails Stencil Set. I blended the bunny outlines with Villainous Potion keeping it light. And then I blended the little bunny tails with Wilted Violet Distress Ink. I die cut the beautiful sentiment from the Happy Easter Die three times from Kraft card stock. I adhered them all together to give the sentiment some dimension. I die cut the shadow layers from white card stock. I played around with the placement of all of the pieces for way too long... LOL... until I settled on the above. I really love how this turned out!

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project using the color combo of Dusty Violet, Spring Green, Sunshine Yellow, and Cocoa Brown. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!

Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 31 ~ Flutter & Fur ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm also sharing some inspiration for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 31 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up the super cute and adorable bunnies from the Flutter & Fur stamps. I adore these two!

I stamped the bunnies and sentiment with Amalgam Black ink on Stampers Select White card stock and colored them up with Copic Markers. Fussy cut the bunnies and butterfly and the sentiment with my Cutter Bee scissors and adhered them together. 

Here's a list of the Copic Markers I used:

White Bunny: C00, C2, C3, R00, R20, B0000, B00

Gray Bunny: R00, R20, W00, W2, W3, W5, G000, G24

Butterfly: Y06, YR15, YR68, N2, N4

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 31. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. 

I paired up these sweet buns with some Easter papers in my stash. I think I've inadvertently decided to finish off these Easter papers because I've left them on my desk and have reached for them a few times. We'll see if I get them finished or not. I do love the chocolate bunnies in the papers and the browns. So cute! I adhered the bunny and sentiment to a vellum egg shape that I die cut using a die from the Nesting Eggs Die from Waffle Flower. I popped the combo up on the card by adding foam tape behind the sentiment and bunnies.

I finished off the card with a few enamel dots from my stash. I'm having so much fun with this sketch! I hope you can find time to play along. Have an ink-tastic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Fun Bunny Background ~ Happy Easter ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm excited to share a super sweet and fun Easter card with you all!

I created a fun partial background using the adorable bunny peep from the Happy Easter stamp set. The adorable girl is also from the same stamp set. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the Happy Easter stamp set on the website. But if you'd like to add it to your collection, you can check out the Farmers Market and submit a request via email... maybe it'll be available for the next Farmers Market.

I stamped the girl and bunnies with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them up with Copic Markers. I also spattered the partial background with Mustard Seed, Tumbled Glass, and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Girl Skin: E000, E00, E51, R00, R20

Girl Hair: Y21, E43, E44

Dress: V000, V12

Green Bunnies: YG11, YG23 

Yellow Bunnies: Y11, Y15

Pink Bunnies: RV10, RV02

Purple Bunnies: V000, V12

Orange Bunnies: YR21, YR15

Blue Bunnies: B0000, B00

Ground: C00, C2

I added a 1/8" strip of black card stock to break up the partial background. And I mat the cute focal image with a black circle mat. 

You can check out my process video here... Fun Bunny Background | Happy Easter | The Greeting Farm.

Anyone else working on Easter cards for their stash? I just adore how this one turned out! I hope I've inspired you to get inky.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal

My Egg-Cited Face ~ Somebunny's Grumpy Pissy Kitty ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

I'm egg-cited to share another fun card for Unity's February release. Heehee! Another fun pissy kitty for the collection!! This one is called Somebunny's Grumpy Pissy Kitty.

This poor kitty looks miserable but Oh. My. Cuteness. I stamped the cute cat on a scrap panel. I colored it up with my Copic markers and fussy cut it leaving a bit of a border. I also stamped the eggs and fussy cut them on the line and colored the edges with a black marker.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Cat: N0, N2, N4, RV10, G00, G02, Colorless Blender

Bunny Costume: C00, C2, RV10, RV02, Colorless Blender

Eggs: YR21, YR15, Y11, Y15, BG10, BG01

Inspiration for my card comes from the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 29. This has been a fun sketch to play with. There's just a couple more days to play along... the sketch challenge ends on Monday, February 24th.

I paired up the kitty with Hello Easter papers from Echo Park Paper Co. These are old papers from my stash. I die cut the pink background layer with the largest die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. The egg paper was die cut using a die from the Scallops & Banners {nesting dies}.

I stamped the sentiment and die cut it with a die from the Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies. I popped up the sentiment and kitty using foam tape. I think this turned out pretty cute. This card cracks me up!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Sending a Hoppy Hello ~ Fluff & Stuff ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

Unity's having a fun release including some cute Easter stamps. I just had to ink up the adorable bunny butt from the Fluff & Stuff stamps.

I stamped the cute bunny butt and sentiment on a scrap of white card stock. I colored it up with my Copic markers and fussy cut it.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Bunny: W00, W1, R00, R20

Bunny Tail: C00, C2

Bunny Hole: Y11, Y15

I ink smooshed a simple background on a white panel that I had die cut previously using the largest scallop die from the BIG Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. I ink smooshed with Tumbled Glass and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Inks leaving a lot of white still on the panel. I tied a pretty bow with white baker's twine. And adhered my panel to a white A2 top fold card base.

I finished off the card with a few confetti pieces from the White Glossy Card Bling pack from A Colorful Life Designs. I love that cute little bunny butt! Haha!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal
