Spots & Dots Everywhere at Crafting When We Can-Fabrika Fantasy is our Sponsor!

 At Crafting When We Can, we are celebrating "DOTS-SPOTS"!  And our thoughtful Sponsor for this challenge is Fabrika Fantasy.  The beauty of images from this site is that with some of them, you can also get a pre-colored image.  That's what I've used on this card and he is called "Easter Bunny" of course.  These options make it a great way to get cards done that you need for the last minute!
I cut the image and then inked it around the edges with distressed orange ink.  I lucked out with my design paper-one side was this great carrot paper and the other the green dot paper.  That fit the bill for this challenge!  I kept it very simple with just a stamp from KKS.
On the inside, I used a decorative Easter egg paper and an orange textured label die cut.  I used another wonderful sentiment stamp from a clear stamp set from KKS.  Easy Peasy!
Come and play with us at Crafting When We Can-We'd love to see your creations and be inspired!

All Dressed Up has it's NEW RELEASE for March! 4 new images!

Welcome to the first new release images for 2017 at All Dressed Up! And Wendy has done us proud again with more gorgeous images.  They are now available in the Etsy Store -}here and they are named Feeling Spoilt, Flowers for Mum, Clunk Clunk, and Easter Bonnet.  
As you can see, I've used the Easter Bonnet cutie-I just love these images she creates!  I used beautiful Spring colors and tried to keep them soft--always a challenge for me that likes dark shading!  A simple cloud background and she was ready to go.  I split the design paper to ground the image, added white paper lace and some epoxy dots.  Used a Birthday Stamp from my stash and already know what lovely sweet person is going to get this for her Birthday!  On the inside, I used a complimentary floral print and stamped a KKS stamp that is so meaningful! 

      

I am sure you will agree that Wendy has produced 4 absolutely gorgeous images this month (As always!)

Sherri Baldy's Birthday Bash-Come help us Celebrate!

 As we are starting, I hope, to come out of the Winter doldrums and welcome Spring...at Color It Create It Show It Off, we are celebrating a month long Birthday Bash using Sherri Baldy's images!  Through out the month, we have several special colored creations that we want to share with you.  AND we want you to join us and share what are YOUR favorite images from Sherri.
My image is called Brittany and Mouse and can be found in Sherri's Shop.  It just made me feel like going Easter Egg Hunting so that was the focus of the papers and embellies!  The plastic hollow Speckled Easter Eggs I used were thin enough that I could cut them in half, then put 2 foam pop dots inside and hot glued them onto the cards-I then added sprigs of ferny branches.  It's stamped with a KKS clear stamp and perfect for the Spring wishes.  Then on the inside, I used the reverse side of several of the papers for a fun mat of a stamped sentiment from my stash.  I've indeed found many friends by joining the My Besties groups that were founded by Sherri Baldy. and am thrilled using her images and seeing the creations that everyone makes with them!  So happy to be here sharing in her Birthday Bash and hope you will join us also in the Challenge! I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

The Start of New Things with 2 CUTE INK! Come enter our Challenge #126-EASTER!

 When one door closes, another opens right?  I'm so pleased that I was able to find a new home as a Design Team member on 2 Cute Ink!  It's an adorable site with all sorts of cute images for all kinds of situations.  We will be promoting their images twice a month on Mondays and hope you will find a wonderful image that just fits the bill for your creation!  The image that I used is called Hippity Hop-how appropriate that some of the design paper I had had it written all over!  I used a wide oval die cut to open the front panel, then cut a smaller oval out of double sided yellow dotted paper to frame him better and inserted it from the back.
Inside, I used the complimentary back of the yellow dot paper, chevrons, as the mat around the image.  He's brightly colored with copics and topped off with a cardstock sticker with a sentiment.  I love buttons so of course there's one on the front with a dotted ribbon.  OH, one thing to try is I used my Signo white pen and just squiggled all over the bunny and then just blotted it with my finger.  It left a texture over the bunny like fur-a white on white effect.  Come by and check out all the DT's new ideas and try some images out at 2 Cute Ink!
