Easter cards and Easter Lamb gift bag

Have a great Leap Year Day today!! Along with the Easter cards I will also show you how to make this cute little gift bag on Tuesday, March 1st. I'll have 2 classes at 1:00PM and 6:00PM. You can learn how to make 4 cards for $12 and the gift bag for an additional $3. I learned how to make the gift bag from Erica Cerwin. This will be nice to get your Easter cards completed by the first of the month.

Easter Lamb Card

This little gal is all decked out in her new pink spring colors just in time for Easter. I watercolored the oval piece cut from shimmery white paper, let it dry and then stamped the lamb in black archival ink. Then I used basic black lightly to watercolor her face, tail, ears and legs. I used Old Olive on the grassy area and topped it off with 3 of the large pearls. The background paper is Perfectly Artistic cut with the Sunburst Thinlit Die. I attached a white doily to the back and used the 4th and 5th from the smallest Oval die.

Easter Lamb EOS holders

I made these cute EOS box holders for 2 of my granddaughter's for Easter. They love the EOS lip gloss so this is a perfect fit for them. I found the tutorial on making these boxes from Dawn Griffiths. I watercolored the backgrounds and then stamped the Easter lamb in Black Archival ink.

Wetlands

With this watercolor, I went directly from pad to paper and then stamped the goose after the paper had dried.

A Little Cowboy in All of Us

This is a retired Western stamp from Stampin Up called Horse Frontier. Anyone besides me that wishes Stampin Up would come out with some more western stamps? It reminds me of my childhood when we rode horses all the time. Not just for pleasure but they were a staple on our farm/ranch. We were always helping my Dad round up cattle, going to rodeos or 4-H horse shows or gathering the milk cows.This card is made with just water colors except for the stamping.

Water Coloring

I just took a water color class and really enjoyed it. I learned a lot of new ideas. It's such a relaxing time. I hope you like my little birds. They look so cute standing in the water. This was called the wet on wet technique. I wet the entire piece of water color paper first with water and then dabbed my brush into different colors of distressed inks.
