Today I want to share a couple of fun stamping techniques on this sweet Easter card made with the Basket Bunch / Basket Builder Framelits Dies!

First I will focus on the coloring since that is the theme of our Blog Hop today!

I stamped the images in StazOn Jet Black on Thick Whisper White card stock and then colored in a few parts of the image using the Stampin' Up! Watercolor pencils.  Specific colors used were Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Basic Gray.

I then blended the pencil using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and spread it to fill in the open areas.  I was nervous the first time I did this – I was afraid that the color would stain my Clear Wink of Stella.  But I quickly discovered all I need to do when I am done with one color is brush the tip on a scrap paper a few strokes and it will turn clear again.  Then I move on to the next color.

The Basic Gray was just a few strokes on each side of the face and sides to add shading.  Ta-da!  It gives you a beautiful professional coloring effect with a gorgeous shimmer throughout!

The card itself is called a Floating Image card – which worked perfectly with my egg juggling bunny!  I stamped the images from the Basket Bunch stamp set, colored them, and cut them out with the coordinating dies from the Basket Builder Framelits Dies. Then I attached them with glue dots to a piece of window plastic inside my window that I cut with the Layering Square Framelit dies.

I cut another set of images in plain white to put on the back side of the window to cover up the glue dots.
