Happy Easter! ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Happy Easter!! I wanted to share the whole card that I made featuring the Somebunny's Thinking stamp from Red Rubber Designs!

     I started with a recycled piece of cardboard, that I sprayed with black, brown, and copper mists. Then for some texture I added Distress Embossing Powder (Vintage Photo) and Ranger Verdigris Embossing powder, which I also used for the grass on the tag using the Mountain Scenery stamp. After applying some white gesso dots to the tag, I colored it with Distress Inks, as well as  the cute bunnies, chipboard banner pieces, the lilac flowers, and to color the lace. The flowers were stamped with the Happily Grateful and Pressed Flowers stamps.

    My design inspiration came from the March Cardmaps Challenge at Scrapbook.com using this Cardmaps sketch!

     It's also my entry for the following challenges.

Inspirational #219 ~ Red Rubber Inspirational Team

     Give thanks with Inspirational #219, hosted by Lynda, for Red Rubber Inspirationals! I had a blast making this thank you card for an example!

     My design inspiration came from this awesome sketch #122 at Cardabilities!

     I started by stamping the bird with All things of nature onto a white circle. I colored it with Distress Inks and markers, using water to make the clouds in the background, and adding a small bead for the eye. Then I used the (Well Rounded) TCW stencil with some gesso to create the circles.Taking the colors from the May Card Challenge at Scrapbook.com, I sprayed some mists to it, and then stamped the black splatters with the So Splattered stamp. For the sentiment, I used Savvy Sayings, all from Red Rubber Designs. 

     I finished it up with some machine stitching, and hand-stitching around the circle. I'm also entering this into challenge #97 (Things with wings) at Fashionable Stamping Challenges, and the Mixed Media Card Challenge also with wings for the theme.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
