On to the cards I did for today.  I had such fun making these cards, all made so easy using my Mini and Original Misti's.  

For the bunny cards I set up my Original Misti using the ruler square and Creative Corners as I like to bring my panel into the center to work easily while I water colour. To stamp, I arranged the Country Blooms stamps using embossing ink and heat embossing with white embossing powder on water colour paper which I die cut with the rectangle dies. I put the panel back in my Misti to water colour and use my Creative Corners to keep my paper secure while I colour with my Zig brushes.

For the bunnies, in my Mini Misti I stamped one with intense black ink and the other I heat embossed using copper embossing powder.  I water coloured both bunnies using my Zig brushes and fussy cut for my cards.  As you can see here, I also used the same piece of water colour paper to die cut my Easter sentiment. 

I styled the bunnies and attached to the card base on foam dots and added some Wink of Stella to the ears and the paws.  I die cut the "Easter" in water colour paper and painted the bottom in a coordinating colour to shadow the top sentiment, then stamped the "Happy" with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy. To finish I added my trademark sequins.

For my third card, I used my Mini Misti to design the card and stamp the little scene. The oval die is on foam strips, and I used Zig Brushes to water colour, also adding Wink of Stella along with more sequins.

I hope you have enjoyed these cards, and now it is time to hop on over to Laurie Case.
