Happy Easter



It's my turn to post over on the Stampavie design team blog.  When I sat down to create a card earlier this week for my post tonight, I had a hard time choosing which of the new images to use (there are so many cute new images!).  Since Easter is just around the corner, I decided I had to use this adorable image from Penny Johnson called Easter Chick.  It’s such an adorable image and just perfect for Easter!



I stamped my image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink.  Then, I colored it with copic markers (E50, E51, E53, Y35, Y38, YR16, R43, R46, YG17, YG67, B52).  I diecut the the image with a circle nestability die.  I cut a mask using eclipse masking tape and sprayed the image with a B52 copic marker and my air compressor while the image was still in the die.  I paired the image with some patterned paper from Basic Grey’s Urban Prairie line.  Then, I distressed the edges of my papers with antique linen distress ink from Ranger.  I added lots of stitching and rounded the top corners with a corner chomper.  I also changed the color of my white paper doily by spraying it with some Wheatfields Glimmer Mist.  I added a couple buttons and a sentiment from Catslife Press.  I adhered the image and sentiment with foam adhesive.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I love the card and the colors are yummy. I also love the circle with the bunny. Who makes that stamp, or is it a sticker?
