Easter Florals

Hi! Here's an Easter card I made today. I coloured with Promarkers, and used a Wink of Stella pen to add some shimmer, although I don't know if you can see that in the photo...

Easter... hey, it's all about the chocolate!

Hi! Here's an Easter card I made, which is a pretty accurate reflection of what happens when I buy chocolate for other people...

Spring Blossoms

Hi! Here's a card I made, inspired by this week's Muse challenge. I masked the space for the sentiment and added colour either side with ink dusters. I coloured the petals with inks and a water brush to try to get subtle shades.

Stencilled Eggs

Hi! Here are a couple of Easter cards I made. I used a mask for the egg shape, and stencils for the flowers. I used embossing paste for the daisies one, and just ink dusters on the swirly flower pattern one.

Tiny Easter Flowers

Hi! I've been like a woman possessed, making Easter cards today! I'm going to the NEC Hobbycrafts show on Thursday, so I feel like I have to make lots of cards before I go, to justify all the new stuff I am going to 'need' to buy on Thursday...

I love this image, and although I thought it would be a nightmare to colour, it was actually quite therapeutic! I love all the tiny flowers :)

Masked Eggs

Hi! Here's a couple of Easter cards I made today stamping over an egg-shaped mask. I coloured with ink dusters and Promarkers. The effect I was going for was a painted egg with shadows around the edges, but I think I should have used thinner paper for the egg mask so the stamp printed up to the edge, and maybe I should have made the edges darker. I might have another try at this one. But I still think they're pretty :)

Floral Easter

Hi! Here's another Easter card I made today. I didn't use a sentiment because I liked the look of it on its own, but now I'm hoping it's obvious enough that it's an egg shape :-s

I was inspired by a couple of colour challenges - I love this colour combination!

Easter

Hi! I've the spent the day getting inky with Easter cards. Here are a few I made. I made an egg shape mask, stamped the wildflowers and coloured with ink dusters. I added a bit more colour with Promarkers, and then added Stickles and punched butterflies.
