Easter's on it's Way


Betsy shows us her ink sponging techniques on this week's MIM.
Loved her detailed and careful instruction.


I send a lot of Easter cards, maybe close to 30!
Love to do them for grandkids, and children of friends.
Betsy used a PTI stencil, which I completely forgot to order on release night,
so I used a Memory Box branch stencil, along with one I made from
a die cut of Easter Grass.
Betsy mostly covered her front with sponged ink first, I left the white as a bg,
and blended and ombred the inks for my leaves and branches.
Had fun ombre-ing the grass too!
Die cuts from Bunny Basket were Zing embossed,
the posies inked.


A peek on the inside with plenty of room to write.

MIM # 205: Confetti Cluster Stamping


This week's MIM's video has Lizzie Jones showing us how to
'Cluster Stamp'.
Delightfully easy, it creates an image from a stencil to 
add interest to our cards.
11 grandchildren has me whipping up fun cards for every holiday.
I used the Figure of Speech Frame die to outline,
and stamped Easter wishes and colors within.


Hippity Hoppity bunny, chick and eggs, and some of that set's sentiments.
Cuppa Love: dots & flowers.
Etched Easter Eggs: words
Butterfly Kisses: dots & daisy
PTI Inks: Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise, Sweet Blush, Hibiscus Burst, Lavender Moon,
Plum Pudding, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, & Limeaid Ice
