Eggstra Special Easter

 Good Morning, I'm back with another Easter card and this on is using some LDRS stamps and dies.

The stamp set is called Easter Pirouette and has super cute tiny images that make a great background:

I started by making the strip with the stamps. The eggs are all layering stamps so you get to choose what patten you want on them. I then layered an A2 card base with a dark yellow cardstock. I cut a white panel slightly narrower and ink the edges of this with Cracked Pistachio Distress ink. This was then added to my base. I inked the edges of the panel I had stamped, matted this with the same yellow cardstock and added this to the left side of the card.

I stamped and colored a couple of the chicks and die cut them with the coordinating dies and added these to the card with foam squares. Finally I stamped and die ct one of the included sentiments and added this to the card with foam tape.

Kev always asks if the card has pearls - I do like to use them on my cards and this one is no different. A trio of green pearls draw your eye to the sentiment!

Thanks for stopping by and if you love what you see please let me know in the comments.

Easter Blessings

Good morning, it's a President's Day here so a holiday. It is great to have a long weekend with family.

Today is also the start of a new challenge over at Jan's Digital Stamps Challenge. She has some gorgeous new releases this month and my card today is showcasing Cottontail Easter a cute set that is ideal for your Easter crafts:

What I Did:

I used my graphics program to build the scene of the bunny, the eggs and the sentiment all of which are included in the set. I then printed this onto stamping card and colored with Copic markers. I recorded my first ever You Tube video while coloring which you can view here.
I then matted an 8x8 in Card base with Yellow cardstock and a spring like paper. I also matted a smaller Easter paper with the yellow card and positioned this on my card
I added my matted image with using foam tape to give dimension. A few nuvo drops just balanced the design.
