Hello! It’s finally breaking through the cold weather and spring is just around the corner along with the NEW ANNUAL STAMPIN’ UP CATALOGS! They will be on their way to you this week! There are beautiful flowers, cute animals, and more masculine products you will be excited about!

If you would like a catalog and I don’t normally send one to you, please drop me an email with your address and we’ll be happy to get one mailed to you.

Easter Friends Card Tutorial

Here’s a simple but happy fun card to make and share this Easter! You probably have most supplies on hand. I encourage you to spend a little time this week, relax and make a couple of cards to give….I’m sure you’ll brighten someone’s day!

Tip: For this image of the duck or chick or bunny, use a similar color to stamp the image in. They are such beautiful heartwarming images but when you use a black ink….it detracts from the sweetness of the drawn image.

My suggestion is to stamp this duck image in Bumblebee and then carefully use your WaterPainter and watercolor the duck with Bumblebee ink from the lid of your ink pad.

Or using Blending brushes are a good option too.

2nd Tip: make sure the eyes pop…either by a tiny bit of Soft Suede ink for the duck and chick or less color for the bunny

Animals come alive when you see their eyes!
