Belated birthday card

I can't believe I forgot a birthday - and the notification on

calender that has been set for EONS didn't 

inform me.

😐

Anyhoo...I also have to admit that I totally jacked this

idea off the internet, however, didn't

keep track of the site.

My bad.

Honestly, I wish I had thought of it.

I actually wonder why I haven't.

🤣

So its basically cardstock of different colors

because why not.

It is adorable.

So this is Oliver a TH sissix die,

the alpha set - is an old Quickutz die called

Holiday.

Didn't realize how big it was but

I love it.

 

The making of Olivers for Easter Cards

There are a lot of moving parts on this baby so

trying to keep track was seriously tough.

They tend to wander off no matter how careful I am.

I also decided to just go for it in making 10 Olivers for 

the grands Easter cards....

So I picked the brightest colors I had and die cut out 20.

Why you might ask,

well....

there are alot of parts and itty bitty parts so just

in case I had two.

And carefully piling them in a small bowl in order

to keep the pile piled which gave it

a real good chance that all the parts would be there

by 2's just in case.

One can only hope.

And then you have to bold, if not daring, and just lay it all out.

On a table.

Near an open window.

I did leave the really really tiny parts in the dish.

And since I decided to use whatever color caught my fancy

in putting together the bunnies.

Yup them babies are mutli-colored.

It was kinda fun, but I found I used the colors I really

liked and ran out of parts in order to 

roll the colors across the board.

Like so.........

That grass patch cracks me up and it reminds me of a skateboard.

LOL.

So wild colored bunnies needed wild colored backgrounds,

obviously not thinking it through but they looked good

when I tried them out as they were premade.

A few days before I played around with inks

and oxides and decided why not.

So I did.

HOWEVER, WHEN I BOUGHT OLIVER I ALSO BOUGHT

THE BASKET WEAVE EMBOSSING FOLDER

AND DID I REMEMBER TO USE IT???

Why NO, no I didn't 😐

 

Had a play with Nuvo shimmer powders and distress inks

Heard a lot about the Nuvo shimmer powders and

I broke down and bought 2 - blue blitz and golden sparkler

and I loved how it turned it.

I felt it needs another color so I popped in some

distress ink - fired brick.

Just a touch.

It was so much fun to use the powders I went back

to my LSS and bought all she had.

I found out later I did miss a color so I need another

trip back LOL.

I also broke out the distress inks

and didn't write down the colors but

it was a fun play spraying,

using the packaging technique

and just splattering ink about.

Love how they turned out and these will

be used for tags, die cuts and stamping.

I also bought Oliver and love how he

pops off the blues, greens and purples.

You'll be seeing more of him.

Oliver wasn't so bad to put together.

Lots of moving parts and layers are the fun of it.

Also can drive one batty too.

LOL.

Love how he pops off the background.
