. . . A Brown and Yellow Basket!
Hello Dies R Us Friends!
Darlene with you today sharing a fun Springtime / Easter time creation.
Did you know the First Day of Spring is on Monday?
YEAH!!!
The
color on this card is actually more of a rosy pink but for some reason
my camera decided to make it more of an orangey/peach color... uugh!
Anyways,
today I'm using up some oldies but goodies! Which includes some old
Stampin' Up papers, dies I've never used before as well as ribbon I've
had in my stash from Really Reasonable Ribbon
and have never tied a bow with until today! Oh yea ... and the Impression Obsession bunny (DIE168)
was laying on my worktable so he got included in today's design too.
After die cutting my Tutti Easter Flower Basket
die, I colored it using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. It's a
beautiful open weave die but I wanted to make the basket portion solid
so the background papers didn't show through. To do this I simply used a
scrap of white card stock and sponged some color onto it using Tim
Holtz 'Antique Linen' & 'Brushed Corduroy'. Then I attached my
basket to the sponged panel and fussy cut around it. Viola!
The
left side background panel is actually the reverse side of the SU
design paper I used for the background. Instead of just leaving the
panel as a straight cut, I decided to use the Sue Wilson 'Gemini Die ' Phoenix' to cut along the one edge to dress it up a bit.
Sue Wilson 'Gemini Dies - Phoenix' CED4401, Cheery Lynn Designs 'Lace Corner Deco E' #B165, Impression Obsession 'Bunnies' DIE168, Tutti Designs 'Easter Flower Basket' #257, Tutti Designs 'Stitched Nesting Rectangles' #217
