Easter Bunny

At Sugar Creek Hollow   our new Challenge theme is  'Vintage Easter'. We would like you to make an Easter card using Vintage images. Please pop over for all the details and see what we have been making this week.
This lovely image of the Easter Bunny I found here  at Free Vintage Digi Stamps.
I used a variety of papers for the layers and die cuts and other additions from my stash.
The extra shading is Victorian Velvet  and Vintage photo  distress ink.

Thank you for stopping by, I always appreciate your comments.

Man

It has been ages since I had a messy day, I have also been wanting to join in the Alpha challenge over at
The Craft Barn.  This week it is the letter M [Ma-Me]
I always, blot out my stamps,  ink pads and stencils in my workout book  so the base was already there.
I chose the word 'Man'.
 I have added the pages from the dictionary, covered with gesso then random stamped up. The number mask had been used for another project so after a spritz of water it was ready to go.

The stamps are from numerous makers including Indigo Blu, Chocolate Baroque and Stampers Anonymous.

I was too late to enter the last challenge which was the letter H [home]  so will show it to you now. I do hope to catch up on the ones I missed.

Thank you for stopping by, your comments are always appreciated.

Easter Parade

'Hats and Easter Bonnets'  is the new challenge over at Try it on Tuesdays. You will guess  that we would like to see 'hats ' somewhere on your entry.
So Easter is fast looming I have made a card.   This image that I have called 'The Easter Parade' in my title, it  shows this family of  chicks in their best hats. The image came I think from Free Vintage Digital Stamps.  I have collected many freebies over time  by searching the net and thank the folk who kindly share their resources. The additions and papers came from my stash.
I hope you will pop over to TioT's for all the details and see what we have been making,

Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the tag slipped in between the back and front cover.

The base layers of both sides were put through an embossing folder, then shaded with Tumbled glass and Salty ocean distress inks
The Queen of Hearts is a Crafty Individuals stamp, slightly shaded with Victorian Velvet  distress ink.

The reverse side is stamped up with a Love Poem an old Inca stamp.

Just for You

We have a Photo Inspiration theme for our New Challenge over at
Sugar Creek Hollow this week.  Please pop over for all the details and see what we have all been making.  I do hope you will be inspired to join us, remember our style is Vintage/Shabby Chic.

At first I wondered what I had in my stash that would represent this lovely vase of flowers.
A good rummage brought a selection of papers and trimming  to the top of the pile on my desk.
Then I found this beautiful topper  I think by  Kanban .
So this is the finished card, the extra shadings were Bundled sage and Dusty concord distress inks.

Thank you for stopping by I always appreciate your comments.

The finger points...........

The new challenge theme over at Crafty Cardmakers is to 'Make a Masculine Card', featuring Technology or a Gadget.
We have two sponsors this time Di's Digi Downloads  and  The Stampman.
Please pop over for all the details and see what we have all been making.

I used Kanban papers for layering on this card.
The clock is an Alterations die cut, cut from black card then coated with Tarnished Brass distress ink.
I roughly  went over it with sandpaper, to shabby the look.
The centre piece is from Crafty-emblies.
All the other shading is walnut stain and tea dye distress inks
The only stamp I used is the 'Pointing Finger', a mini blueprint stamp from Stampers Anonymous.

Crafty-emblies have a challenge that I think is Anything goes. So I will link this up here.
