Flowers & Fauna – InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty's March Blog Hop! During this year's blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month's projects feature Flowers & Fauna, a brilliant starting point for so many projects. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Today's project is an Easter card featuring the Springtime Joy stamp set!
How stinking cute is that bunny??!? And that basket of eggs? OMG. I am loving this set! Here's another angle of the card:
My color inspiration came from the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper! Here are the colors I used:
A perfect Easter or Spring color combination! I stamped the bunny in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added a little bit of shading using the Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blend. I pulled some of the color away using the Color Lifter! Then, I colored the flowers on the bunny's head using the color combo above.
The Easter egg basket is colored with Crumb Cake and then I colored the eggs the same colors as the flowers. Using my ScanNCut, I “fussy-cut” the basket. The final touches include a Baker's Twine bow and a Rhinestone Basic Jewel!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Sue Jackson at Just Peachy Stamping. There's lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don't want to miss it!
