Welcome to the Reverse Confetti April Blog Hop!
For the hop, I decided to make not one, but three cards,
Isn't it adorable?
I immediately thought of using the little chick from Carton CutiesCarton Cuties
and making a nest using
Here's my first card, an Easter card:
I blended ink onto my background and then added
my stamped chickies from Carton Cuties
into the nest that I created by diecutting two
of the larger Swirlies Confetti Cuts.
I coloured the chicks in with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers
and a water brush and stamped my sentiment using Easter Blessings.
Then, I decided to make a baby card:
For this one, I blended aqua mist ink onto my background using my Heart Stencil
and added a branch using The Tweet Life Confetti Cuts.
I stamped my sentiment using Bear Hugs.
And lastly, I made a friends card:
I diecut my background using my Big Stripes Cover Panel Confetti Cuts
and blended ink onto it.
I heat embossed my sentiment (from A Friend Like You)
on a piece of vellum.
