This Lili of the Valley stamp is called "PATCHWORK BUTTERFLY". I really like this sweet patchwork look on some of these recent stamps. Soooo cute!
The bunny was so easy to color since all I did was shade a bit with Black Soot distress inks and added a pom pom for the tail. The pink cheeks and toe pads are Spun Sugar and the butterfly is mostly Dusty Concord.
My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I used some paper blooms, Cherry Blossoms, Hip Rosebuds, and a Curly Rose.
So do you have big plans for Easter with family? We sure do. We are going back to our hometown to have a huge gathering with all the family with an Easter egg hunt and backyard baseball game! It is a very sentimental time for us because the house that we are going to is Tom's Mom and Dad's old house that one of the grandchildren bought from him after he went into assisted living. It will be our first time to gather again since his Dad's funeral and being that they all grew up in that house, I'm sure it will bring back loads of memories. Bitter sweet, but it is nice to have such a large family!
Thank you for visiting me! I'll be back soon with another card!
Hugs, Dena

Hi Dena,
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card and the colours are wonderful and really me (I just adore lilacs and pinks! Mind you I kinda adore lots of colours really...lol) The colouring of your bunny is gorgeous, I will have to remember this tip of just shadowing with black soot as the bunny looks more realistic and shapely. Thanks for that.
We have a big roast dinner for my family on Easter Sunday just as we do on Christmas day. So lots of food and big round tummies after!
I hope the memories are sweet for the family and not filled with too many tears. It will be hard in some ways I am sure but I hope you will all be able to chat and remember mostly fond memories and times of joy and laughter.
Happy Easter to you all.

Oh yes Dena, this is as DARLING as can be! Now gosh, whenever I try to color somthing with just hints of shading and keep it white .. it just hardly ends up that way. lol. For some reason, my image ends up turning more gray/black than intended. Ooopsies! lol! This is so very BEAUTIFUL .. and of course your colouring turns everything into GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a very beautiful event coming up this weekend .. I agree .. it is so nice to have a large family. :) And it sounds like so much fun with a family Easter egg hunt with a backyard baseball game!!! It will be nice to gather all once again in such a sentimental place and share fond memories of your Father In Law.
Have a lovely Easter weekend my dear friend! Big Hugs,
Elise
