Fiesta, Fiesta!

The lovely red poppies are so lovely!  The Poppy Field stamp was painted with Technique Junkies Shimmering Bliss which had been sprayed first on a non-porous surface.  The greeting Fiesta was embossed and sponged with yellow and red dye based inks.

Spring Bunny on Sprayed Textured Newsprint

Happy Saturday, everyone! I'm here with a mildly mixed media Easter card using new the new March stamp, Spring Bunny and many more cheerful products! Isn't it time for more spring projects?

All the Technique Junkies products in today's project will be at your fingertips just a little bit further down in the post with instructions but first here is some shopping information you'll want to know!

I mentioned before that this card is mildly mixed media, but with a little bit of uniformity, you could create a traditional card with the same supplies. Here's how the sample is designed in the photo!

Supplies:

• Spring Bunny
• Textured Newsprint
• Simple Sentiments 1B
• Nuvo Mousse -  Pacific Teal
• Classic Harlequin Stencil 6 x 6
• Shimmering Bliss Sprays Vivid Volt and Miami Vice
• Black Waterproof Ink
• 2-3 color ink pads
• Watercolors (paints, markers or pencils ~ your choice!)
• White, Kraft and colored cardstock 
• Stencil Brush
• Adhesive
• Foam Adhesive
• Twine

Instructions:

1. Ink the Textured Newsprint Background stamp with 2-3 spring color ink pads using a single color at a time cleaning between each color so the inks won't stain other ink pads. Stamp on white cardstock and trim to only the edge of the image.
2. Spray top half with Miami Vice Shimmer Spray and bottom corners with Vivid Volt.
3. Stencil Nuvo Mousse on top with Harlequin stencil. Repeat on the bottom with another color mousse or darker inks.
4. Randomly stamp Easter sentiment on the top half of background image in waterproof black ink. Adhere to coordinating color cardstock and tie twine around the top before adhering to kraft card base.
5.  Stamp Spring Bunny with black waterproof ink. Color with watercolors then trim around image leaving a white border.
6. Adhere Spring Bunny with foam adhesive to card base.

Classic Variation: Try a more uniform background by using a single color for the Texture Newsprint stamp, stencil in a complementary color over the complete image and then add a single stamped sentiment near the tied twine.

I hope you are enjoying some crafting time today that includes a little bit of sunshine peeking in your window too!
