Friday Idea on a Saturday Morning!


Sorry, very busy day yesterday. We spent the day at the zoo and did not get home in time for my Friday Idea. If you plan on going to the zoo this month there is a coupon on their website for a free kids ticket with every adult ticket purchased. Saves you $5 for each kid!

Now back to business.

This is an Easter card that I made for my Sister. The stamp set is ' A good egg'. The card stock is barely banana, Chocolate chip, Pretty in Pink and whisper white. The ink is Chocolate chip. I colored the little chicken and egg with my watercolor pencils. The little egg shell laying on the ground is just the same hatching chicken stamp but I cut everything else off so that it could be the top of the egg shell. The ribbon is from Micheal's. The background of the card is done with Versamark. If you really like a tone on tone effect or a subtle look you need to try the versamark. It does really well with the lighter colors and does ok with the darker colors. It makes what is called a 'watermark' image just slightly darker than the color of the cardstock that you stamped it on. You can also use versamark with your chalks although I have not tried it yet.

Remember Monday is the last day I can order from the sale-a-bration catalog so let me know ASAP if there was something that you really wanted.

I hope you have a great Easter!
