Hello everyone! TGIF!! I hope you guys had an awesome week. I am looking forward to the weekend. Last Sunday we fell back 1 hour so now it gets darker earlier. And the neighbor next door has a new puppy that loves to start barking at 5am. To say that I am not a happy camper would be an understatement!! At least making art keeps me sane! LOL
I take part in a card swapping group on Facebook and one of the cards I need to make this month is an Easter card. I came up with this super easy card.
I started with a piece of white cardstock that I die cut using a stitched rectangle die. Next, I randomly stamped the eggs from Easter Set 2 (Anthony's Paper Craft) with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
Then I colored in the eggs using only pastel colored BIC markers (Margarita Green, Pink Flamingo, Peach Parfait, Polynesian Purple, Lime Sorbet, Oceanview Blue, Petal Pink, Turquoise Teal and Yellow Blaze).
I found a Martha Stewart pastel paper pad in my stash and I adhered a piece of the purple to the front of my top folding A2 card base. Then I adhered a piece of piece of white fun foam behind the eggs, which I then adhered to the card front.
Of course, it was at this point that I realized that I had forgotten to stamp the sentiment. UGH! So I placed the card into my Misti and prayed that I could stamp the sentiment without screwing up the whole card. I used the sentiment "Happy Easter" from Easter Set 1 (Anthony's Paper Craft) but this time I used Onyx Black Versafine ink. I stamped it twice and it came out perfect!!
To finish the card I added Stickles (Ranger) on each of the eggs to give it a bit of shimmer.
Done!
As I said, super easy card to make. The only time-consuming thing is the coloring but you guys know I love to color. Here is the final card.
I hope you guys enjoyed this card. Feel free to leave a comment below! I am off to make a few more Easter cards. Until next time -
