Give a Cheer
I've created a cute card for Easter. I've gone for a rainbow of splashy inks and found cardstock to match from Scrapbook.com's Smooth Cardstock range. Perfect in the lovely bright hues they had in a few of their packs. I wanted to have a rainbow of these adorable 'peeps' on this card in all their gorgeous hues and I wanted to have the background look as though they'd been splashed with colour and then sugared up. So I started with a fabulous rubber cling stamp from Whimsy Stamps called Paint Splatters Background. It was a bit of a trick to get all the different hues on the stamp, so I must say I was delighted with how it came out! I did my best to match the ink colour I used on the splatter background stamp with the bunny I was adding overtop. Of course it matched so well, they disappeared a little, so then came the idea to pop a bit of vellum underneath them to set them apart, just a little, from the splatter background. I wanted to make these 'peeps' like bunnies look like they were sugared confectionery. I took my larger broad nibbed Zig 2 Way Glue, lined up the peeps on some Mint tape to hold it still while I added the glue to the front of the peeps and then sprinkled them liberally with Distress Rock Candy Glitter. They didn't take long to dry at all and I was able to work with them almost immediately. I decided to use a cute die set I'd recently bought from Whimsy, which has some cute sentiment options, but loose letters, so you can totally choose to mix and match them so easily to work together to create different words than the ones originally intended. So I cut enough letters to be able to spell out 'Love My Peeps', a fun play on words for these little Easter treats.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
