Anita Jeram Summer Garden Release (+GIVEAWAYS!)

16 Mar

Good morning!  There is a new Anita Jeram Summer Garden release available today over at Colorado Craft Company and it’s perfect for spring and summer!  Gardening fans will adore these cute critters!! Today I’m using Carrot On and Greener Grass!

To start I stamped and masked the adorable bunny from Carrot On and grass from Greener Grass.  Before coloring the critters I blended my sky with spun sugar, shaded lilac, and blueprint sketch distress oxide inks.  I added some splatters of water and iridescent shimmer spray and then let the panel dry.

Once the panel was dry I removed the masks and colored my scene with copic markers!  I used warm greys for the bunny and a mix of YG00s and G00s for the grass!  His scarf is B20s and the carrot is YR10s!  To finish the card I stamped a sentiment from Carrot On!

And that’s it for me!  Be sure to head over and check out the Summer Garden release!  And don’t forget, if you shop through a guest designer’s affiliate link you’re automatically entered to win the entire release!! I’d be honored if you’d shop with my link HERE!  Also, leaving a comment on each hop stop will give you the chance to win a stamp set from the release!  Thanks for stopping by, good luck and happy shopping!!
