Easter Card, Distress Oxides and Crayons, Dot

Image
Hi everyone, Dot here.  Today I've made an Easter card for you.  Easter seems to be sneaking up on us so I thought it might be nice to use some eggs. The eggs, swirls and spots are from ' Gather Together ' stamp set and the  feather is from the 'Birdies' set. The background was simply made by swiping card through Distress Oxide ink's on a craft sheet. Some stamping with oxides and a little white gel pen to finish off with. The eggs on the other hand are stamped with Distress Crayons! This is a super fun way to stamp and these eggs were ideal for this technique. Here is a closer look at the eggs. I chose to use 3 shades of blue crayons and then around the edge I added some dark brown crayon. They've been left plain because to me they looked beautiful just the way they are.

Little Houses - Easter Home Decor by Susanne

Image
Hi everyone! It's Susanne here today and I'd like to share my newest Easter home decor with you. I was so inspired by the tiny houses from the Tim Holtz newest collection with Sizzix, that I designed my own houses in my Silhouette studio. I love this neutral look for my easter home decor. I cut the shapes from craft cardstock, added some old book paper with Gel Medium and covered everything with gesso. In my next step I used stamps from the Gather Together , Birdies , Antique Botanicals and Feathered Friends sets together with Archival Ink Jet Black and Coffee. I added some earthy colour tones with Martha Steward acrylic craft paint and DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics. Of course I wanted to have a little bit of three dimensional texture, too. So I picked the DecoArt Media Crackle paste and add a some of it here and there with different stencils. You can achieve an amazing effect with the DecoArt Media Antiquing Cream. Add it all over the textured area...
