Three Step Card

Some Sale-a-bration stamps.
These cards were great fun to make...once I got my measurements sorted out.
I used mostly pencils to colour in on the aqua card and sponge brayers to colour the background.
For the orange card I used mostly markers (when I had the right colours) & Blender pens and ink pads for the rest.  

Inspiration for this card came from Paperwishes.com on Pinterest

These cards were a lot of fun as well. It was actually around Easter time when I made these cards (yes...that was a while ago) so I thought they could have been good for Easter cards too... with chickens and eggs and all that.
I made a mask for the chicken and the egg so I could sponge crumb cake all around them and still have a white chook and eggs. 
I was going for a hen house look, so the hexagons embossing folder was perfect for chicken wire. Just ink up the hexagon outlines (the side with the logo on it) I used a rubber brayer and smoky slate ink, then press onto cardstock - I did this step after stamping, sponging & colouring, so the ink wouldn't smudge.

  1. I can't believe no one commented on these fabulous cards. Love, love, love that three step fancy fold card. Amazing design features with all the stamp sets. Really well coloured and coordinated. Had a giggle over those little eyes peaking out of the fold in the last one. Cheers and thanks for inspiring!
