Hello Friends! Katy here with my latest video! In todays video I use some Cherry Blosom Walnut Ink to create a simple background for an Easter egg die cut I have in my stash. I kept the background simple and made an A1 size card, also known as an RSVP card size. I love that I can use the Walnut Inks like watercolors to create simple backgrounds. Video has all the details. Thanks for watching.

It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing how to make this cute Easter card. I love the elements to this card; the flowers are gorgeous, and the bunnies are super cute. You could leave off the eggs and easter sentiment and it becomes a spring card.
Skill: Intermediate to Advanced Time: 45 Minutes
Directions:
Gather your supplies. To make this card you will need a stamp set that has bunnies, eggs and flowers, along with coordinating dies. Several colors of inks, some markers and a re-inker.
Step 1: Stamp the flowers in a black ink. I used Memento Tuxedo Black
Step 2: Color the flowers using the coordinating stencils. Stencil one is a light green. I used VersaMagic Tea Leaves
Step 2a Stencil two is a darker green. I used VersaMagic Touch of Pesto
Step 2b:
Stencil three is a dark red. I used VersaMagic Red Magic.
Step 2c: Stencil four is a peachy pink. I used VersaMagic Pink Grapfruit
Step 3: Stamp the bunnies using a black ink. I used Memento Tuxedo Black.
Step 4: Using the coordinating stencil color the bunnies a light brown. I used Memento Desert Sand.
Step 5: Cut a panel of light blue cardstock 5.25 x 4. Using a paint brush and a re-inker splatter the panel with a light blue ink. I used Memento Summer Sky.
Step 6: Stamp the eggs in colored inks. I used VersaMagic Mango Madness, Turquoise Gem and Pink Grapefruit.
Step 7: Color in the eggs with markers. I used Memento markers in Dandelion, Summer Sky and Angel Pink
Step 8: Cut out all the elements and arrange them as you wish on the blue panel, stamp the greeting on the panel and then finish the card by adhering the panel to the base.

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing how I made this filmstrip valentines card using some Memento inks.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1 hour
Directions:
Gather your supplies. To make this card, you will need a valentines set (preferably with small images to fit in the film strip), a film/postage strip die, and sereral colors of ink.
I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel for the images. I used a set from Lawn Fawn that has coordinating stamp, coloring stencils and dies. I used Memento inks in several colors to color the images and a stamp/film strip die.
Step 1: Stamp the images in VersaFine Nocturne ink on a panel of white cardstock.
Step 2: Using stencil No. 1, color the images in the desired colors. I used Morocco for the fox and Desert Sand for the deer.
Step 3: Using stencil No. 2, color the remaining images in the desired color. I used Desert Sand for the bear and Gray Flannel for the seal and Bunny just heavier handed on the seal. I used Angel Pink for the ears.
Step 4: Using the coordinating dies and a die cutting machine, cut out the images.
Step 5: Cut out the postage/film strip and then color with coordinating stencil. I used Summer Sky.
Step 6: Cut out a background using a heart cover plate.
Step 7: Stamp the greeting and then cut down at an angle. Put all the elements together on the card base.
The postage/film strip will hang over a little and will need to be trimmed. You can prevent this by madding a horizontal card rather than a vertical one.
