Hippity HOP

Happy Easter!  I have a mixed media Easter card to share with you.  The look I was going for on the background is a Robin's egg that cracked.  And I also tried the bunnies that Tim demonstrated in a live video recently.  I used Gathered Twings Distress Oxide to stamp the bunnies and then used Walnut Stain embossing powder to give them the look of chocolate bunnies.  I also used the newest and last color of the Distress line, Scorched Timber.  

Supplies:

Tim Holtz - Mr. Rabbit stamps
Tim Holtz - Spring Shadows stamps
Distress Oxide & Distress Ink - Speckled Egg
Distress Oxide - Scorched Timber, Gathered Twigs
Distress Embossing Powder - Walnut Stain
Archival - Black Soot
Tim Holtz - Alphanumeric Bold - dies
Tim Holtz - Bunny Stitch - heart
Stamping Platform
Ranger Texture paste opaque
Tim Holtz - mini fractured stencil set 56

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a Blessed Easter!

Foil eggs

 Hello there!  I was going for a foil egg look on this one.  The picture isn't that great.  I've already mailed it off so it is what it is, I guess.  LOL!  Hopefully, you can see what I was going for on this.  The mat layer is actually a light blue foil cardstock.  The middle biggest egg is light blue, too.  The egg to the left is light pink and the egg on the right is light green.  And those colors tie in with the banner in the corner.  UGH!  

Supplies:
Tim Holtz - Bunny Games
Distress Oxide -Tumbled Glass
Tim Holtz - Gingham stencil
pink, green, blue foil cardstock

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful Easter holiday!!
