Baskets, Bunnies, & Blooms

It’s time for our March posting of CASEing Coast to Coast! Rosanne Mulhern and I will take you from her studio in Pennsylvania to mine in California with a click of your mouse! This month we have a theme challenge: Baskets, Bunnies, & Blooms ~ just in time for Easter. We are starting in PA this time and here is Rosanne’s adorable card:

My Card

When Rosanne picked this month’s theme of Baskets, Bunnies, & Blooms, I thought of this fun stamp set by My Favorite Things. It’s been in my cupboard waiting for this very day! 🙂

There’s a mixed bag (or basket?) of products on this one! Like “putting all of my eggs in one basket!” Here is what I used:

• Stamps: My Favorite Things Spring Gnomes
• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin’ Up! Blends, Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue
• Dies: My Favorite Things Grassy Fields, Stitched Cloud Edges, Spring Gnomes
• Paper: Stampin’ Up! Thick Basic White, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper
• Misc: Stampin’ Up! Blending Brush, Gina K. Masking Magic, Stickles Diamonds Glitter Glue, Stampin’ Up! Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Techniques

I paper-pieced the gnome/bunny’s hat with DSP. Then I made a mask with the Cloud Dies and brushed the color on to create the subtle illusion of clouds in the sky.

It’s so like Spring! I hope you have enjoyed our CASEing adventure again this month. Please leave us a comment! We would love to hear from you.

Here’s wishing you an early Happy Easter!
