Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Today I want to show you a fun slider card with the little kiwis by Scrapadile.

For the egg, I blended Distress Oxides Bundled Sage, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron on a panel of white cardstock. I sprinkled some water and some diluted Distress Oxides Vintage Photo and Salty Ocean on it. Then I die-cut the egg with the crackle by Craft Emotions from the panel.

I stamped the cute kiwis by Scrapadile with black Memento ink and colored them with copicmarkers. To get some texture on their feathers, I dipped a piece of paper towel into Copic blending solution and dabbed it onto the image. I learned this technique recently from Kathy Racoosin and think it’s a great way to achieve subtle texture on small images where it can be tricky to use a lot of different Copic markers.

Here’s a close-up where you can see the texture better.


For the background, I stamped an full-cover stamp by Impression Obsession with light green dye ink onto a panel of textured white cardstock. I used the My Favorite Things Circle Spinner Channels Die-Namics to create a small channel into my background, then mounted the upper part of the egg onto a slider replenishment by My Favorite Things. The sitting kiwi and the lower part of the egg were glued below the slider channel, the upper part was put into the channel, the standing kiwi glued right from the egg. Oh, and I forgot the sentiment - it’s by Kartenkunst and was stamped with black Versafine ink onto the background. I mounted the whole background panel onto foam tape and glued it onto a green card.


Here's a little video of the slider card in motion!

Just married!

On Saturday, Jeanin, one of my sweetest Instagram friends, got married. So many of the happy crafty friends decided to create together a mini book with our congrats for her. Each one of us created one page measuring 10 by 10 cm with rounded corners, and then we put all the pages together. Look at the finished project:


 Isn't it fabulous?
And here's the page I contributed to the project:



I created a background with Ranger Distress oxides Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers and some stencils. Then I die-cut the tree with the Penny Black Tree of Love die out of red and white cardstock. I used the main part of the white die-cut, discarded some of the white hearts and replaced two of the white hearts with ted ones. I glued some more red hearts in the top right corner of the panel and added the sentiment by Clearly Besotted with Archival Jet Black ink.

Look at all the other pages by hopping along the blogs on my blog roll, most of them participated.
