EASTER CARD RECIPE


Hello! Today I've got a soft pastel Easter Card RECIPE to share! Skill Level - EASY!

INGREDIENTS:

White CS - A2 card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2" when folded) & 3 1/4" x 4"
Pink CS - 4" x 5 1/4"
Pink & white ribbon - 6" length (I used a heart pattern, polka dots would work too)
Sheer white ribbon 7/8" - 7" length
Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies - Floral Ovals (2nd largest die)
Bunnies stamp - Spring Garden Stamp set, by Red Rubber Designs
Happy Easter Sentiment (TAC)
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers: PP1, PP2, CG1, CG2, IG1, IG2, Blender
Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug Anna Griffin Matelasse
Embossing Machine (I used my Big Shot)
Stickles Icicle Glitter Glue
Pop dots

DIRECTIONS:

1. Stamp "Happy Easter" with black ink in lower right corner of pink CS.
2. Emboss pink CS with Matelasse Folder & attach pink & white ribbon across center, as seen in photo.
3. Cut smaller piece of white CS with Floral Ovals die, then stamp bunnies image with Memento Black ink.
4. Color in image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, as shown in photo.
5. With PP2 Marker, color lightly the oval over the punched holes on the die cut (sorry, this did show up well in photo).
6. Attach colored oval to pink embossed CS with Pop Dots.
7. Attach finished piece to white A2 card front, then stamp sentiment on the inside.And the card is finished.

IDEAS: For a little variation, try changing the color of the background - instead of pink, try light blue, mint green, soft yellow or lavender. Or, try changing the color of the ribbon, add pearls or rhinestones, you decide....  I'd love to hear from you & see what you've come up with. I hope I've helped to inspire your creativity today!Smiles, Laura
