Hoppy Birthday Bunny Card

hOpPy Birthday!

Two of my friends have birthday this week! Gail turned 50 on Sunday and Donna is turning... something-or-the-other today! (I don't know whether her age is a secret, so let's just leave it that).

It's so nice seeing those young chicks follow in my tracks by a year (and a half or two), and Gail saying goodbye to her 40-somethings and finally turning 50! Welcome to a new decade, filled with awesomeness, glitter, and many more wrinkles! Hey, we've earned them all! :-D

Gail has this bunny hop running on her blog to celebrate, and here is my contribution - a colourful card with the adorable Bonny Bunny that Donna designed for Rubber Dance!

 

Bunnies might not like tulips, so I added some carrots for her in the bouquet: 

No birthday girl/woman is too old for glitter on her BD crown:

So with this, I wish Gail a happy belated 50th birthday (I know she celebrates all week)

and Donna a happy birthday today

and many more awesome years to come for you both!

♥ ♥ ♥  Love you! ♥ ♥ ♥

I'm entering my bunny card to Gail's hopping challenge:

and praises to me for a card well made, of course ;-)

 

Funny Easter Cards

Happy Easter, everyone! ♥

It's not custom here in Norway to send out Easter cards, but I made three just for fun. It doesn't say Easter on any of the cards, though, so maybe I'll use them as birthday cards instead - especially spring birthdays.

First is this chick - obviously born with a lot of confidence! :-)

 

All the stamps are from Rubber Dance:

Tulips from Crazy Flowers #1, Chick from Textured Spring, sentiment from Adore Me, and Rascal Rooster. I drew the stem of the flower by hand before stamping the sentiment on a separate piece of paper, which I cut out and adhered on top after colouring it.

 

Stamps used, all from Rubber Dance:

Bonny Bunny, Textured Spring (chick), Flower Power, Flying ink bottle (sentiment). I drew the speech bubble by hand and also some hearts to match those on the chicken.

Stamps used, all from Rubber Dance:

Bonny Bunny, Flower Power, Textured Spring (eggs). I made the sentiment using 'Hoppy' from Bonny Bunny and 'Spring' from Four Seasons.

I stamped all three cards using black Versafine ink on watercolour paper and coloured the images in with Zig clean colour markers, sometimes direct to paper and some places combined with a waterbrush.

 I wish you all a very Happy Easter!

Rubber Dance Blog Hop

Hello there! ♥

In celebration of my stamp company's new web shop, we invite you to our blog hop - with prizes to win! 
 

A new web shop needs some new stamps, of course :-) 

 Susanne has designed another beautiful sheet of stamps in her Textured Stamps series.   

Textured Spring is a 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7 inches) sheet full of gorgeous images:

Below is the card I made for our blog hop, using several stamps from Textured Spring and the stars from Textured Flowers. See what I have done to the lamb? I cut her head off so I could put it back at a different angle and I gave her feet as well (ideas by DT Gail - thank you, darlin'!). Notice the sleeping lamb, hiding between the flowers. I changed her eye so it looks as if she's sleeping - after counting sheep .....  
(No animals were harmed in the making of this card).

We have more new stamps in store for you - check them out on the Rubber Dance blog below.

Tulip Card and Stamp Sale!

Hi everyone! I'm just popping in real quick to show you a card I made with some of the brand new stamps from Rubber Dance. If you're interested in seeing all the new stamps - visit the Rubber Dance blog where we're having a release sale on the new stamps. There are flowers and chickens and eggs, some adorable zentangle owls - and more!

 

I stamped the flowers from Textured Spring on watercolour paper with waterproof, black ink.

After colouring them in with ZIG watercolour markers, I cut them out and placed them in a bouquet on my background, which I had decorated with some colourful splatters here and there.

"Spring" was made using my good ol' Dymo label maker, I doodled the frame around it and the border at the bottom of the card. 

Tip: Place the cut out images on your background without gluing them down, move them around until you're happy with how it looks. Take a photo! Then you can take the images off your background and adhere them one by one, using your photo as a reference. 

For a few days you'll get 15 % off your order of any of the new stamps!

Go to the Rubber Dance blog for more info :-)
