Happy Easter Combined Challenges

Hi all,

I’m posting again this week because I have a very special project which I finished today thanks to the snow day we are having.  For the first time I’m combining two challenges, Lawnscaping Challenge # 53: Texture and Freshly Made Sketches #76!

I’m also excited to be using this adorable new stamp set from Lawn Fawn which I won during their most recent week of releases!

So without further ado here’s my creation for these two challenges:

For the Lawnscaping  challenge I had to include texture on my card, which here can be found on the dots background on the white card stock.  I used a Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder to create the texture.  I love how these embossing folders can bring such interest to any plain card stock.

To create those three little scenes, I first started with Spellbinder square dies, to figure out the size of square I needed that would fit in a regular size card.  I then used my copics to color the sky background area and green copics to create the grassy areas.  I then stamped the images and colored in the little chick and the rosy cheeks on the bunny.  I loved coloring that little chick yellow just like those cute little peeps you see during Easter season.  I then paper pieced the eggs using a scrap piece of patterned paper.  I stamped the sentiment using Tempting Turquoise Stampin Up ink onto a white strip of card stock.  Finally I took some white pearls and colored them with a blue coordinating copic marker.  The little panels are on the card with foam tape for some dimension.  I’m really pleased with how this came out!

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
