Renske - Hello Everyone! This time I made a quick and easy Easter card. For this I used the digital stamp Bunny Rabbit with spring carrots. I colored the picture with alcohol markers. I also used a sentiment from the Easter greetings, quotes and sentiment set. I die-cut the text with a rectangle die and applied some green ink and blue ink to the background. I hope I have been able to inspire you again. Happy Crafting. My Instagram: @renske.wishes.you Facebook: Renske.wishes.you

Judy: This week's DT project is an Easter card created with Cute Bunny Sitting on Easter Egg.
I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils before fussy cutting. My background was done by inking white card stock and adding die cut clouds and grass. The sentiment, from Easter Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments, was printed onto the background.

ENRICA - I used this Cute Bunny digistamp from the Springtime Smiles collection and added her to this great colouring background scene which you can find here...

RACHAEL - I am just in love with these Darling buds images - this one is tulip isn't she amazing! I wanted her to be bright and bold and shine through on these dreary days, and love the bright pink and green colour combo. This won't be the last time is use these colours together!

Nunzia: for the incoming Mother's day I thought to make a "thank you" card. All mothers deserve it. So I colored this cute Love-you mum-banner Winnie with alcohol markers an added a pink bowl. The paper is part of Love birds valentin papers-3 while the sentiment comes from Mothers day messages and sentiments bundle.


Pam - For my card today I've selected Horace & Boo Sleepy Pots and made a Relaxing card for Mother's Day Celebration in the UK. I used papers from Polkadoodles, Cheers and Beers to make the split background and used Copic markers for the coloring.

Merja - This time I used Fantasy Moon image. I love everything fantasy themed and this image is super beautiful and versatile to work with. I added the background with a text editor program before printing the image. Then I coloured the image with alcohol markers. Lastly I added a glittery gold paint pen to brighten the text, stars and some other areas. I really love this card 💚

Wendy - Hi everyone! We're celebrating Mother's Day!! What Mom wouldn't want a relaxing spa day? This adorable little elephant is from the Tons of Love bundle. I just love drawing a little bathroom scene for this sweetie. Thank you for looking!

Let's see the inspiration from the team - we've been creating lots of lovely inspiration for you...it's Mother's Day soon in the UK so here are some gorgeous ideas for you...


Betsy - Today's card features Gil Rabbit Growing Sunflowers. In honor of spring I've turned them into daisies! I composed my card in the computer using Winnie's Celebration Kit 1 Papers 2 for my background. I used an excess piece of the green stripe and die cut it with a grass border die. I colored up Gil using Copic markers. I used a side folding card base with a white scalloped panel, then the panel I popped up on foam. I adhered the sentiment to the top left. I embellished with a white gel pen, tiny iridescent butterflies, a heart button on Gil's overalls and tiny yellow flowers.
Copic colors used: Yg00, Y02, Y15, Y17, YG11, YG63, YG23, B000, B01, B93, B95, B97, Roo, R02, E33, E35, E37, B1, C3, C5, W0, W1, W3, W5

Renske - I created an Easter-themed card using the 'Cute Easter Egg Basket' digital stamp as the focal point. To make the basket shape, I printed and coloured the image twice, ensuring that one was mirrored on the back of the card. I coloured the images with alcohol markers. I added elements from the 'Chocolate Time Chick Spring' digital stamp, such as grass and Easter eggs, to create a festive spring scene inside the card. The text 'Hope your Easter is Eggs-tra special' from the digital stamp set 'Easter Greetings, quotes and sentiments' was included to convey a heartfelt message. I hope you like the card. Happy Crafting!

Judy: I've created an Easter card for my DT project for this week's challenge. The card base was created with 3 hexagonal die cuts. I used Bunny Rabbit with Eater Egg as the focal. It was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut. The border along the bottom of my card was created with the Spring Borders Craft Stencil. Background papers are from the Co-ordinated Paper Bundle Theo Penguin and Totally Cute 6 x 6" Paper Pack. I used a sentiment from Easter Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments. A bow was added to finish.


ENRICA - Hello everyone! This week the DT was asked to make an Easter card with a non-standard shape and a flower seemed perfect to me. I used the super cute Butterfly Chick Spring into Easter digital stamp, colred with Copic. Patterned papers are from the Bella Bear Morning Coffee and Gnome holding carrots gardening Digi Deals. I’m totally in love with this sweet chick, hope you like it too!


Tinne - Hi everyone! Easter is looking around the corner, so we are creating Easter cards! I created a flower shaped card out of craft cardstock. I cut out the base shape a second time out of white oxide ink cardstock, and a third time out of a green pattern paper from the Work & Play 10 collection – Paper Heaven 2. I cut out the middle circle from the white one, and inked it with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink. I splattered it with water and some of the ink. Once dry, I glued it on my base shape. I used the green scalloped circle to cut out 2 grass sections, and I cut of the scallops. I glued one section on the flower shape, glued the gnome from the Gnome Spring Lambs/Sheep precoloured image set behind the front part of the grass, put some foam tape behind it and also glued it on the base shape. I put foam tape behind the butterfly and glued it in place. I used a sentiment from the Lily Bug Ladybird Messages set, because we don’t send Easter cards here in Belgium. I put foam tape behind it and glued it into place. And now I have tot turn my flower shape into a card. I folded a piece of craft cardstock, creating a smal base card. I cut out a circle using a circle die from my stash, but I kept a piece of the fold. That way you get a base card shaped like a circle. I glued this behind my flower shape, and now you’ve got a flower shaped card! Have fun crafting!

Deborah - Hello all! Deborah here, and I am working on more Easter cards for my granddaughters. I just love this Cute Bunny Rabbit Sitting on Easter Egg digi stamp [https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/cute-bunny-rabbit-sitting-on-easter-egg-digital-stamp-digistamp-for-cards-cardmaking-crafting-and-stickers/] and I know my granddaughter will too. I decided to use a rounded, braided, non-traditional shape that opens on the side, and colored her with alcohol ink markers. This digi stamp is also available in a pre-colored version, if you prefer. I finished the card by adding a sentiment from the Springtime Smiles Sentiment Bundle [https://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/easter-greetings-quotes-and-sentiments-printable-clipart-digital-stamp-digistamp-for-cards-cardmaking-crafting-and-stickers/] and a few embellishments. Listed below are the Copic Alcohol Ink Marker colors that I used to color this digi stamp...
