Sun Ray Dies & Easter Wishes Easter Blessings Card with Lexa

Hello crafty friends! Lexa here today with a card that highlight the Sun Ray Dies and I'm pairing it with Easter Wishes. The Sun Ray dies actually pretty versatile, you can try to think out of the box, your imagination is the only limit.

I start my card with a piece of 4.25"x5.5" white cardstock and blend Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for the sky. I die cut the sun ray on two tones of yellow cardstock, I trace the circle lightly with pencil and adhere the rays one by one. It's actually a lot easier than it seems, mine is far from perfect but after I finished the whole card everything looks alright.

I stamped all the images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. After finish with the coloring, I use the coordinating Easter Wishes dies to die cut all the images. I always love to pop everything out, the white border around the images are perfect. The grass border on the front is added the last to add more dimension. The bunnies from Easter Wishes are my favorite, they look so adorable and fluffy. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoy today's post and I wish you all an awesome day!

The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge Blog Hop

Welcome to Day 2 of "The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge" Blog Hop!  You should be arriving from the blog of Honey Bee Stamps or if you are just joining us you can start at the beginning of the hop at The Daily Marker.  

Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker has created this wonderful hop to give your creativity a jump start with some of her favorite stamp companies & Online Card Class partners.

The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something everyday even if it’s for five minutes. (However feel free to  jump in or out as time permits). Any coloring medium is welcomed. Click here to find out where to share what you are coloring and join the encouraging community of happy colorists PLUS answers to other questions you may have.

Kathy encouraged us today to try and mix in other companies products besides our own into our creations today and I completely embraced that idea.  As a one-woman show I frequently don't find the time to use all the other wonderful stamps that I continue to buy from my favorite companies.  I had fun trying to squeeze a number of different stamps from my stash on my two card examples today.  I think the different companies play nicely together, don't you?  ;)

Before I go I thought I would share an exclusive sneak peek of what I started coloring yesterday as part of the 30-day coloring challenge.  I frequently play along, but I often can't share because it's something not yet released.  These images are from five of our seven new stamps sets coming out in mid-April for our summer release.  ;)

GIVEAWAY: Many of us are giving away a prize today. I will select one random winner from the comments on today's post to receive our new Daffodil Dreams & Timeless Tulips stamp sets. I would love to hear which sneak peek you're most excited about. ;)

The full list of ALL winners from the individual blogs will be announced on The Daily Marker Sunday March 12th. :)

I hope you will join in the challenge. It's a great way to gain confidence with your coloring and be a part of a community of positivity and coloring enthusiasts. The challenge is also a great way to get full use of your stamps and coloring mediums. Don't forget to use the hashtag #TheDailyMarker30Day when sharing on social media so Kathy can find your work.
