Scenic Saturday with Amybella: Tiny Townie April & Her Bunny Love Easter

Hello again!

Amy here with one last Easter card for this week’s Scenic Saturday post. I couldn’t resist going back to the recent Spring release and inking up the lovely Tiny Townie April and her Bunny Love Easter. I love how these two are framed in a wreath of pretty Spring flowers and I really wanted to play that up on my card.

The first step was to ink up the wreath image near the top of the card front using Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I then cut a mask for it and covered the whole thing before using the Copic airbrush system to add the purple base. Before removing the mask I also used a textured background pattern stamp from my crafty stash to add another layer with some tone on tone purple ink. With that done I could remove the mask and begin coloring. I started with the wreath, sticking to pretty Spring inspired pastels and then jumped to the mini background scene that I added behind April. I kept it simple with a grassy field ending in a hedge row of distant trees, but even that quick addition suddenly makes this look like a mini portrait. Once I had April and her beloved bunny colored as well, I could then complete the card by stamping another of the sentiments from the Easter Sentiment set at the bottom using white embossing powder. I just love how this card shows that sometimes having just a hint of a scene can be just as effective as coloring an entire card front.  🙂

Stay crafty my friends!

Sunday with Tamibella: Tiny Townie Astronauts

Hi! Tamara here with you. Today I have an astronaut/space/universe card for you. First I started with alcohol inks background and it didn’t turn out just the way I planned so I made another one using Distress oxide inks and didn’t like that one either so I printed out this watercolour universe digital paper and it fits my coloured images perfectly. LOL.

Images used on this card are from Tiny Townie Astronauts rubber stamps. There are 4 astronauts in this set, but I decided to use only two. As you can see they arrived on a strange black-white planet. Images were stamped with Archival Ink – Jet Black on 300g HP watercolour paper and then coloured up using Distress ink pads.

Distress ink colour used are: vintage photo, ground espresso, black soot, scorched timber, picked raspberries, spiced marmalade, barn door, broken china.

I added some universe themed die cuts and made a card that can be used for different occasions.Hugs, t.

Weekend Inspiration with Delphineabella: Mini Oddball Bee Kid & Butterfly Girl Flower Scene

Hello everyone! Delphineabella here to share a spring scene this weekend featuring a couple of stamps from our latest release… and more!

The two characters I used are the oh so adorable MINI ODDBALL BEE KID and MINI ODDBALL BUTTERFLY GIRL. I wanted flowers for them, so decided to use the FLORAL FOREST BACKDROP.

To create my scene and have both characters on the flowers, I started by stamping the backdrop on a piece of draft paper, positioning the stamp in the corner of my stamp press to put it back there easily afterwards. I then stamped the characters using my stamp press on my piece of draft to make sure they were in the position I wanted. Then I took my Copic paper, stamped my characters on it, masked them and stamped the background on top.

I coloured everything in Copics and added a sentiment from our new HELLO SPRING SENTIMENT set.

Copics used:

That’s all from me today! Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend! Hugs,Delphineabella
