myasperations 4-30-23

This little bunny from artist Conie Fong is so sweet that this Z-fold card was such a joy to pull together. I created embellishments by printing off a handful of the little flowers, colored,  and fussy-cut them before adhering them around his feet, and to the sentiments.
Supplies: 
·   Digi- Conie Fong (Bunny with Egg)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Instructions for a Z-fold card can be found HERE.

·   Front Sentiment- Eureka Digital Stamp (Happy Easter) Website currently down for maintenance

·   Inside Sentiment-Freebie from Desert Diva (Some Bunny Loves You)

·   All other items from my stash.

This busy baker is looking pretty festive as he prepares for the holidays. Artist Beccy Muir names all of her characters… and this cutie is Elwyn. Such a magical name for the wee lad. And looking at that pan of treats makes me long for a warm gingerbread cookie. Yummmm!

As I created this card for the current Butterfly Challenge I loved how simple it was to make this fun fold, called a Standing Pop-up Card. One reason I enjoy this challenge is the challenge host provides easy-to-follow instructions for the optional fold. She also provides some wonderful prizes and is a sweet person. This card includes all four of the required colors (Straw, Sea Green, Salmon, and Skye Blue) plus all three themes (Standing Pop Up fold, stripes, and butterfly.)
I’m also entering this card into several other challenges including Outlawz Sunday Song and Rhyme (the beautiful roses and butterflies on my card reflect the lines “May is pretty” and also “Spring out flowers.”)

  5. So glad you got your parcel ok. That was very fast. I love the way you have curved the back of the card. Such a simple idea but changes the card immediately. The bling is perfect. Thankyou for coming and playing in the butterfly garden with me. Hugs Mrs A.

  9. Hi Kathy: Thanks so much for sharing your awesome cards with us at Word Art Wednesday. I can teach you how to link all three of your cards from this one blog post (if you're interested in learning) in any challenge including ours. I just LOVE all your cards. Sometimes it's nice to be able to enter them all into an Anything Goes challenge. Just a thought. Anyway...Thanks so much for sharing it and playing along at WAW. Have a blessed week.
