Happy Easter Peeps

Good morning... 

Nazeema here sharing my weekly card with you. 

Are you ready for Easter!!??? We are and far in advance than normal too!! 

We are spending the afternoon with our furry friends at the Animal Shelter.

This weeks challenge at SweetStamps is "Hippity Hop""Easter" theme. 

I have been all over these new Peeps piccolos, since they were released a few weeks back.  Jennifer McGuire did a tutorial on coloring embossing paste and I knew I have to try it on these guys. 

Even though I am not a marshmallow fan, these little bunnies sure are cute!!! 

I started with the Tulip Lattice Stencil.  Using a circle die, I created a circle that provided as a guide for each bunny. I wanted to keep the space above them clean.  Then I colored my embossing paste with distress ink re-inkers.  You need very little of this stuff.  If you want a stronger color, then add more.  I let these dry overnight, then added black dimensional pearl as eyes. 

Here is a close up.  I love the texture, which the actual peeps do have!!

Well I hope that you and your family have a blessed Easter. 

See you soon!! 

Hugs.

The challenge at Sweet Stamps for this week is Something New.  Well, I had a hayday buying stuff in the store for Santa to bring to me......, so I have lots to choose from!

  I had fun with Dylusions sprays for the background, and then I used a stencil and covered the background with Wendy Vecchi Gold Embossing Paste.  Oh- IRL this paste is just gorgeous!  The paste is flexible, so you can bend the cardstock top to bottom, and it will not crack.......  It also picks up the hue from the color of the Dylusions underneath it.
  I used Enamel Embossing Powder Royal Sterling on the outer edge of the image. I swiped the cardstock with the antistatic first, and once the purple EP was cooled down, I swiped again with the antistatic and embossed the crown using Micro Gold Enamel EP. I know the shimmer in the Enamel EP does not show well in pictures- it is heavenly!

I colored the butterfly with Distress Markers Worn Lipstick, Peeled Paint and Chipped Sapphire.  I colored and stamped it a 2nd time, fussy cut it and added shimmer with a Stardust Gelly Roll pen.
