Today is day 2 of the SSS blog hop celebrating the Beautiful Moments release. I have a card to share with you that uses the darling Special Friend stamp and die bundle as shown here:

Here is my card using this set:

I used the Basic Shapes Nested Eggs Dies to make my card base. I folded a piece of white cardstock and then die cut the egg shape by attaching the side of the egg just a little bit over the edge of the cardstock fold. That way that portion doesn’t get cut and you have a card! I applied Seafoam PSInk to the top and Sprout PSInk to the bottom. I used Tim Holtz foam applicators to get a soft even application of ink.

I stamped the images in the Special Friend stamp set with black ink and colored them all in with Copic Markers. I also stamped a sentiment from the stamp set with black ink and die-cut all the images out with the matching dies. I arranged them on the front of my egg shaped card adding the sentiment to the top. I used some of the new Peach Bellini Embellishment Mix around the scene.

I have also made and blogged two other cards using the Beautiful Moments release. Here are the cards and links to the blog posts.

This card uses the Crocus Field embossing folder, the Ribbon Loop Frames, and the CZ Easter Grid stamp and die bundle for the sentiment. You can see the blog post that has some tips for coloring embossing folders HERE.

I made this slimline card using the new Bunny Bonanza stamp and die bundle and the Easter EZ Strips for the sentiment. You can see the blog post with directions for this card HERE.

    Both your bunny cards are adorable! And that crocus card…seriously? You are a fantastic colorist and I’m so jealous! All the details with the pencils just makes it that much more beautiful! I checked out your tips for coloring embossing folders with markers and it was very helpful. I typically don’t color them with markers because I’m just not good at it especially because of the bleeding, so your tip on coloring mostly the top and the bleeding will cover the rest is a great idea that I’m going to try.
