Easter Bunnies card for family

 An Easter card that I created for a couple of my children and the grandbabies for this upcoming Easter. I used my new digital 'Easter Bunnies' and took advantage of the coloured topper that is included with the set. I simply added a drop shadow behind the bunnies, moved them a little closer together so that I could fit them onto the egg shape. The egg was digitally created, coloured and printed out and was a breeze to cut out (considering my eye sight is still not the best). The lace hid any imperfections *Smiles*. As the bunnies appear to be looking up at something the little silver butterfly was added as a focus point for them. A small arrangement of flowers was added to the card in the same colours as the clothing of the bunnies. Finished of with a simple bow and the pearls in the corners.

The inside is fairly plain but I followed through with the egg design. I did have fun using the warp tool to alter the text to wrap around the egg. I dropped the same green shadow behind the text and used the same pattern as the egg on cover to fill the text. Hint: I only brought a meter of the blue ribbon and was able to create 2 cards with it. I did this by not wasting it behind parts of the card that were to be covered up with another layer. For example behind the eggs on the cover and inside it is actually 2 smaller pieces with only a tiny bit under the eggs, not a complete strip. Considering the cards would take up 4 x 15cm strips and I made 4 bows, if you do the math and not waste, it is possible. I even had 5cm to spare. *Smiles*

Angel card

The very generous Shelly has supplied us with this gorgeous Angel digital stamp and sentiment for this round of the NEW CDAC Progressive FREEBIE Challenge. I had lots of fun making this birthday card, as I got to play with all the new dies and make some pretty paper flowers. I'm not happy with how bright the skin of the angel is as I'm a little rusty with the copic colouring and feel that it should have been tones lighter. Next time.

It maybe a little difficult to read the verse inside the card as I printed it out on paper that had a glossy texture to it and the ink seemed to bead. As I was going for a vintage feel, I let it be and thought it added character.

Card Details:
Stamp and Sentiment - Shelly's Images
Kaisercraft - Paper (Sweet Nothing Collection) and Ink (Vintage)
Die-namics - Leafy Florish Small, Flower Trio and Leaf Trio, Mini Royal Roses
Copics - E 000, 01, 84, 95   YR 24, 31   R 02, 22   B 000, 00, 93    G  43
The rest of the embellishments from my stash.

Challenges I am entering this Angel Card into are:

Baby Shower Card

I'm the luckiest Nana in the whole world with 5 healthy grand babies to date and 2 new baby grand daughters arriving this year. The first one is due in about 5 weeks and the next one end of May. Alyssa is celebrating tomorrow with a baby shower and this is the card I made for her. The digital stamp was inspired by the theme of her nursery, Woodland. This is their first little girl so I wanted to make it all pink and pretty.

Card Details:

Digital Stamp - Woodland Baby and Word Art from Baby Set 2 (coming soon)

Kaiser Craft rubon SB554 -White flower border

Studio 18 Acrylic Gems - Autumn Days

eksuccess Jolee's Boutique - Dimensional Stickers (the white ones with gems in center)

Dew Drop ink - cosmic copper and coffee bean.

Everything else came from my stash with names and details long forgotten.

The inside has a beautiful verse which I thought was so nice for a new baby girl.
