Happy Easter to all you good eggs!!

With this card I want to wish all you 'good eggs' happy Easter!

 The background is embossed with the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (I do wish that Stampin'Up! would use a 'little' shorter item names....)

The best way to use these deep embossing folders is to sprits your card stock with water before embossing. It softens the fibres on the paper, so it won't wrinkle and you get a deeper impression.

The colours on this card are Whisper White, Pool Party and Bermuda Bay. And the stamp set is a Sale-a-bration 'Hey Chick', which is no longer available.

Happy Easter!!!!!!!!

Here is the template for this weeks design. I had hard time figuring out what would I use for the semi-circle on the left edge. I was playing with different shapes, but nothing really worked for me. And I didn't have large enough circle die to do that in one piece.

So I cut out one circle using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. Then I cut it in half and glued them together, to form a large circle. I just positioned the top layers and the burlap ribbon to hide the seam.

The stamp set used is Hey, Chick from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. The colours are: Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Smokey Slate, Basic Grey, Bermuda Bay and Whisper White.

The pattern papers are both from the Occasions Catalogue: Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper Stack (the circle) and Falling in Love Designer Series Paper (Gray with dots).

I coloured the chick with the Watercolour Pencils. The background stamp is from Butterfly Basics stamp set.

Water colouring with new pencils

Oh So Succulent (Occasions 2017)

I cannot say how happy I am that Stampin'Up! brought back their watercolour pencils!!!

They used to have all kinds of colouring tools: pencils, crayons, chalks... then they all disappeared and we got the alcohol markers (blendabilities), which had some manufacturing issues and they were cancelled. Since then, we were stuck with ink pads, markers and blender pens and aqua painters. 

And although they are nice, I never got the subtle effects with them right.

So YAY for the watercolour pencils!

In this post there are several images that have been coloured with the watercolour pencils. Still need to work these images into cards (the colouring was supposed to be my Christmas holiday crafting, which didn't happen - LOL)
