A Layered Punch Card

I wanted to make some layered punch cards so here is my attempt using a single border punch and patterned papers.  The card on the right also has washi tape in it.

I tried to have a couple of layers that were plain to give my eyes a rest.

Believe it or not, you can make this heart design easily.  Just use your gel or paint: make one side first and then the other. Start at the top and angle each side in to form the heart.

Faux fleurs are much the same as a heart except you start with the center first and then left and right.

All the colors on this card were made using the Viva Decor Paint Pens.  (Fabulous!)

Hope you are inspired to make one yourself!

A Summer Card with a Bunny!

Hi everyone and Happy Summer to you all! 

We always use bunnies on Easter cards but they are great for Summer cards too!

I actually started out by creating the plaid for my bunny. I used white glossy for my cardstock and alcohol inks.  Once I knew the color scheme, I chose an ivory cardstock as the mat (embossed) and a pretty blue shimmery Bazzill Bling shade for my card.

I used Tea Dye Ink (Ranger) to edge my ivory mat to bring out some of the embossing and to "age" it a little.

My little plaid bunny was made using a Tim Holtz technique using alcohol inks.  If you want the steps to the technique, go to Tim's blog and search "plaid". 

On my bunny I did two different colors of plaid.  I used a soft pastel for the bow.  Also, I added a cute little crocheted doily for my bunny to sit on!

I hope you liked my card today! Happy Summer!
