Hello Crafty Friends,
Easter is a week away and I have some last-minute card ideas for you today.
My first card is a fun one that was inspired by THIS cute card done by Cristena who is the Featured Stamper at Splitcoaststampers.com this week.
I water-colored the sky and background grass and stamped the
Brush Pussy Willow and painted them as well. Then I stamped
Vicki's Versatile Background on some white paper and then cut the paper into fence posts. I used a little leftover water-colors to add more interest and then sponged the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. For the critters, I stamped the
Tails Up Bunny and
Easter Ears Leonard the Pig, fussy cut them, and water-colored them as well. I removed the egg from Leonard's arms and ticked him in the fence. My banner was a bit boring so I got the Stickles out and fixed that. The glitter was speaking to me and I used it in a few more places as well - lol. I finished it off with a part of the
1 Line Easter Blessing Greeting.
I sketched and painted the tulips and wreath, stamped the cross and painted it, and then added in gold dots with some gold paint. I was aiming for shabby chic so I distressed the panel with white acrylic paint and some Distress Ink.
I water-colored the flowers on the egg and added in Stickles to make it more festive. I followed
THIS video to learn how to do this.
Hoping you are having a wonderful week.
Hugz,
