Carrots 5 cents

 Hello there!  I have another fun Easter card to share.  The background is ink blended with Distress Oxide in Salvaged Patina and then 3D embossed with a new folder from the vault from Tim Holtz called Vault Diamonds.  I then applied a very small amount of adhesive with my glue stick to the raised areas and then pressed some holographic foil onto it and then ripped it off for a distress look.  Love how that came out.  I've also used a border die from the new Tim Holtz Vault Edges.  


Supplies:
Distress Oxide - Salvaged Patina
Tim Holtz - 3D embossing folder - Vault Diamonds
Holographic foil 
Tim Holtz - Vault Edges - dies (dirt)
Tim Holtz - Carrot Bunny - dies 
Tim Holtz - Specimen die (5 and a c that I altered with my black pen :-)
Tim Holtz - Road Trip. Colorize dies - (sign)
Tim Holtz - Spring Shadows - stamps (sentiment)
foam tape

Got Candy?

 Hello there!  It's time for some Easter cards this week.  I was busy making cards last week to mail off in time for Easter.  I'll be sharing them on my blog this week, so stay tuned. 

I did a really fun pastel ink blend for the background of this card.  Then I 3D embossed it.  I added some stamped and embossing glazed bunnies and some fun die cut eggs.  Then I added some mica flakes that I colored with Alcohol ink.  It looks just like Easter grass.  So much fun!
