Hellooooo everyone! I'm literally coming in under the wire with another couple of Easter cards - I REALLY wanted to use the new Simon Says Stamp Doodle Egg Background stamp AND I've had this Giveaway planned so I've been scrambling to get everything done!
First off, this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
You can check out what the rest of the Design Team created HERE <-------click! and play along if you'd like!
So here's what I created:
I made 2 cards using this color combo and the Simon Says Stamp Doodle Egg Background stamp along with a few other SSS stamps and dies and stencil.
For my first card I heat embossed the background onto Distress watercolor card stock with white embossing powder, then "smooshed" Distress Inks onto it. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Easter Greetings stamp set onto some GinaK Sweet Mango card stock. The bunny is from the same Easter Greetings stamp set and I stamped him onto Distress Watercolor card stock with SSS Stone ink then used the same Distress Inks and a water brush to color him in.
For my second card I started out with another heat embossed background on Distress Watercolor card stock and then sponged the same Distress Inks over it using Simon's Waves & Hills Stencil. I used the new Topside Bunny wafer die which I added a little pom pom to for his tail and a pink crystal for his nose.
I finished the insides of the cards with the same bunnies I used on the outsides along with stamped and heat embossed sentiments and that was it!

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the products have little icons below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. You can hover over the icons and it will tell you what store that link will take you to. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
Now for the GIVEAWAY!!
I had ordered the Doodle Egg Background, the Waves & Hills Stencil, Topside Bunny Wafer Die and Easter Greetings Stamp set only for SSS to have sent them to me in a separate package (that took longer to show up). SO since I don't need doubles I want to give away this package of goodies to one of you!
To enter just follow the steps in the Rafflecopter widget below (making sure you're using an e-mail address that you check frequently as that's how I contact the winner) and that's it!
Good luck and Happy Easter! :)
