Hello all!  Kia here with you for today’s Random Act of Cardness.  My prompt name is Bunny.  But where is the Bunny you ask?  He is coming, so not to worry.

But first I would like to detail the front of my card.  For my background I did some smooshing with Antique Linen, Gathered Twigs, Walnut Stain and Black Soot distress inks.  Once the background was dry I embossed it using Tim Holtz Embossing Folder Doily.

I then die cut the carrots, doing the same technqiue using Crackling Campfire, Gathered Twigs, Twisted Citron and Rustic Wilderness.  I also died the ribbon with the Rustic Wilderness.

Gathering the carrots together I wrapped the ribbon around them, attaching them to my background using foam strips, then stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Clair ink in Tulip Red.

 On the inside of the card I did the background the same way as the front using Twisted Citron and Rustic Wilderness, and is also embossed with the Doily embossing folder.  I then die cut the grass from Impression Obsession and attached it to the background.

And here is the Bunny, which I have done using Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs. For the face I used Copic markers in 100, R11 and R22. The carrots are done using the Crackling Campfire, Twisted Citron and Rustic Wilderness.

From a left over carrot I made the crumbs at the bottom of the card using a tiny hole punch and made the sentiment using my Brother Label Machine.

I usually have a good time making my cards, but this card was particularily fun to make. I think it is all the details that came together which made it fun.

Thank you for stopping by today. I will see you next time.

Inspiration time for today’s Random Acts of Cardness prompt: STENCILS!

 

 

This little guy is probably my very favourite bunny stamp – I have a little figurine that looks just like him that my grandmother gave me when I was very young. <3  To start the card, I blended shaded lilac, blueprint sketch and chipped sapphire distress inks using a My Favorite Things watercolour wash stencil. With the stencil still in place, I applied a layer of Nebula glitter gel over the inks. While that dried, I stamped and coloured my bunny with Copics before die cutting him and the crescent moon. I also stamped and embossed the sentiment, and coloured the strip with the leftover ink on my purple brush. Once the background (finally) dried, it was an easy task to put everything together.

 

 

I hope you’ll consider joining February’s challenge! Have a great week.

Hello all. Kia with you for Day 19 of the Random Act of Cardness series. The prompt word for today is Chill. I decided I would use cold colours for my card, being the purple and blue, and there is silver in there too, and that equals chill to me.

There are several techniques used for this card. I have done the alcohol ink background using glossy card by Ranger. I then die cut the frame from Yupo paper so it would not be a stark white.

My base card is a turqouise, matching with the colour of the alcohol ink.

For the Cardinal I water coloured using distress inks in several colours. I did the Cardinal in layers working wet to wet for the first part. Before applying the final layers of red, I let the piece dry completely. As the tail feathers are in a shadow I applied a light layer of watered down black soot, patting off with paper towel after about 10 seconds.

To put the card together I attached the alcohol background to my card base using Nuvo adhesive. I then attached the frame to the card, again using Nuvo Adhesive only on the inside frame border.

Using my stylist I styled the Cardinal, then attached it to the cardbase using foam squares. I stamped the sentiment on hammermill card, die cut and attached under the claws of the bird, also using foam strips.

To finish off I added white gel pen under the black eye and across the bridge of the beak. I then glued on a few snowflake sequins, which also represent the chill of a cold winter day, which is what we have in my area.

On my blog I have a lot more detail along with pictures of the colours and the colouring process. You can view my blog here.
