Somebunny's Thinking Card

     Just in time for Easter, I created this card with a tag featuring the adorable Somebunny's Thinking stamp from Red Rubber Designs! Such cute bunnies, and they were so fun to color with my Distress Inks, which I also used for the tag, lilac flowers, sentiment, and to color the lace and chipboard banners.



     Recycling a piece of cardboard, I started by spraying it with some black, brown, and copper mists to mimic rust. Then I applied a couple of Ranger embossing powders for some texture, which I also used on the flower center brads, the gromlet on the tag, and the grass embossed with the Mountain Scenery stamp. I distressed all of my paper edges, including the flowers which I doubled up, using the Happily Grateful and Pressed Flowers stamps. The chipboard banner pieces were covered with gesso, and colored with Distress Inks, where I extended the stamped "you" onto both pieces. The background of the tag was stenciled with white gesso dots, and finished with machine stitching around the edges.

A Rosa for You


Hello, friends!  Angie here, featuring the gorgeous Rosa cling mount stamp from Red Rubber Designs.


I had so much fun last week painting my stamp that I chose to use the technique again for the Rosa stamp.  I used TH Distress markers and colored the stamp then spritzed lightly with water.  I stamped multiple times and let dry.  For the next step, I scribbled markers on a craft sheet, picked up the ink with an aqua brush and painted in the clear spaces of the rose and leaves.  For a little more dimension I stamped over the image a couple of times then added shadows.


To finish off the card I added a sweet sentiment from Joyful Notes.


Thanks so much for stopping by, now here's one last look at the fabulous Red Rubber Designs stamps I featured today!
