Another Easter card today and I'll have several more this upcoming week. I awakened at an unearthly hour (2 a.m.) this morning and it was one of those wake ups where you're wide awake and you know there's no chance of just rolling over and drifting off again. So, after about 10 minutes, I got up, tossed on a warm robe, and headed for the crafting table. Can you believe the end result was an additional 5 Easter cards?!!
Here's the first one:
This image is one from ArtbyMiran which has been in my collection for quite a while and I've used her a few times. This time, she seemed to be a perfect Easter image so I colored her with ProMarkers and colored pencils, then fussy cut her with scissors.
The open egg image behind her is from Any Old Craft (now closed, I think) and was meant for creating images of sugar eggs (do you remember those?) with scenes made inside them and an open aperture for peeking inside. However, instead of actually putting that sweet girl inside, I adhered her with dimensional dots to the front of the egg. I had colored the egg with ProMarkers and cut it with an oval die from QuicKutz.
I used hot pink CS for the card base and embossed the front with a folder from Sizzix before wrapping it with white, polka dot, ribbon. I quickly sewed together a scrap of pink ribbon to make the bow and added a tiny gem to it.
The sentiment was printed and cut with another QuicKutz die, then added to the top corner.
