Lawn Fawn's Chirpy Chirp Chirp! an Easter Card with video

Hello fellow card makers. Today I am sharing with you a card I created using Lawn Fawn's Chirpy Chirp Chirp stamp set and coordinating dies. I am also entering my card into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes.  I had a lot of fun making this card but it took a long time. I did a "no line" coloring technique on the images using Memento's Desert Sand ink.  I also used several inks to stamp the eggs. I really had a blast making this card. I have always loved decorating eggs for Easter, and these eggs are no exception. If only I could get my kids into doing it on paper instead of hard boiled eggs... Oh well, below is a photo of my card, a complete list of supplies, and a link to my You Tube video.





Supplies:
Stamps:
Lawn Fawn, Chirpy Chirp Chirp and Love Letters (paint splatters)

Dies:
Lawn Fawn, Grassy Border

Ink:
Memento, Desert Sand
MFT, Bubble Gum and Ripe Raspberry
Taylored Expressions, Granny Smith and Peapod
Ranger, Java Bean
Distress Ink, Tattered Rose, Dried Mariogold, and Twisted Citron (background) and Ground Espresso to warm up the base and the grass.

Cardstock:
Neenah 80 lbs. Solar White
Distress Watercolor Cardstock
Papertrey Ink, Limeaide Ice and Classic Kraft

Patterned Paper:
Lawn Fawn, Perfectly Plaid

Other:
Copic Markers
Warm Grey Copic Multiliner to add the eyes of the chicks.

YNS Silly Monster Birthday Card and My Husband Does My Voiceover!

Hello fellow card makers. Today not only am I sharing with you my latest card but I am also allowing my husband to do the voiceover for my YouTube video for this card. He is such a good sport.

To make up for the lost footage I created a Copic Color Map and I attached a photo sharing the dimension of the card. I used a piece of craft foam on the front panel and popped up the silly monsters with foam tape. Below are photos of my card, the Copic color map I created, a link to my YouTube video, and a full list of supplies.
