Clean and Simple Easter Card

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. We have a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. This month's challenge is on Easter Wishes +/or Gifts from the Bunny. Our sponsor for this month's challenge is Beccy's Place. 

I printed the images on watercolor paper. I colored the images using Akashiya Sai watercolor brush pens. I applied pigment from the watercolor brush pens to a palette. I applied water to the images using a water brush. I then picked the pigment then applied the pigment to the image. It is easier to build up the color to a lightly colored image compared to lightening a heavily pigmented colored image. Even if these are water markers, sometimes the pigment gets stucked to the paper.

I fussy cut the images leaving a white border around it. 


For the sentiment, I die cut this on watercolor paper using a die. Luckily, the letters did not fell off making it easy for me to water color it. I die cut these letters two more times on scrap white cardstock. I adhered the letters on top of each other for more dimension. I added shimmer as a top coating for the letters.

I opted to create a clean and simple card but I wanted to create an ink blended background for the Easter Rabbit. I have so many acetates that I decided to create a stencil with an egg shaped opening. I kept this home made stencil, including the negative cut for future use. 

I adhered the elements of the card. I adhered the bunny with foam adhesive. I curled the ends of the banner for some dimension.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you join Incy's challenge for this month. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

  1. Wow, your card is fantastic Maria Giselle! The colours are gorgeous and you've done a really great job with the painting. Great idea to fussy cut around the images and pop them up for some extra dimension, the effect is wonderful. Love it.
    Cheers,
    Beccy
