Bird Crazy Easter Card

As promised, here is the Easter card I made for the Ranger Ink Booth at CHA this year. It was made with Specialty Stamping Paper, and lots of Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

I inked over a piece of Specialty Stamping Paper with a lot of Spring colors.

I flicked water over it...truly my favorite way to use Distress Ink.

I dry embossed the piece with the Retro Circles Texture Fade, and inked the edges.

I inked more paper, stamped the birds, accesorory ears, and the egg on it, as well as a clean sheet, and die cut them. The sentiments were inked on the same paper. I die cut the fringe with the Kraft Core too. I colored in the ears with a Tattered Rose Distress Marker.

 

Stay tuned, as I have a few more Easter projects to show you this week. Until then, enjoy your Easter week!

Happy Happy Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Are you wearing your green? Are you preparing a huge Irish feast? Are you looking for reasons to pinch or kiss? I am...so watch out! This is my last St. Patty's Day project this week, I promise!  I enjoyed making this so much, and I got to dig deep in my stash and use up lots of loot, plus I got really messy using Ken Oliver's Color Burst! You can make the most wonderful backgrounds with it!
