Two Very Different Cards

 Hey Everybody,

I have two cards for you today. One is a beautiful encouragement card and one is a silly Easter Card.

Take a look.

Our challenge was the site, Essential Stencil, found here.  
The inspiration for my card can be found here.

I stamped with memento tuxedo black ink then colored with a the blender marker and a water brush. I used Karin brushmarker pro markers. These markers can be used like watercolors. I scribbled ink onto my glass mat then used the blender pen and water brush to add colors to the flowers. It was a nice way to soften the colors that I used.  I cut the image panel and designer paper panel with the arched dies. Then I added them to the peach pie card base. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

My second card is so stinkin' cute! When I saw this on the Unity Stamps website, I knew I had to have it. I love images that will make people smile. I like making cards that are out of the ordinary so they really have an impact on the recipient.
Michelle was chosen as this week's featured stamper. Here is my inspiration from her gallery. 
What stopped me at this card was the background she made with this cute bunny. I made an Easter Card with a different character. I kept my card vertical and added two sentiments instead of one. I did multiple layers but didn't add a button or ribbon.
This little guy was masked then I stenciled the eggs around him. I colored him with Copic Markers and blending brushes. I outlined each egg with a fine line sharpie marker. I stamped and added the two sentiments. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.
