Colourful Easter Wishes!

Hello Everyone! 

Michelle here with my very first post. I made a fun Easter card using a mix of stamp sets -  Eggstra Special Birthday, Fruitful Friends and the Easter Wishes Large Sentiment die.

To start off, I stamped and coloured the images using alcohol markers and added white highlights. For the bunny looking over the grass, I modified this by cutting off the watermelon part and used a white gel pen to cover up any unwanted stamp lines. 

For the background, I ink blended on clouds using Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide and then splattered some of the same ink mixed with a little bit of water, giving a bit of interest to the sky.

I made the grass using a grass die and ink blended Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover Distress oxides. Again, I add splatters using green and white ink. 

For the Easter Wishes sentiment, I die cut it from a piece of white card that I had ink blended using Worn Lipstick, Mustard Seed and Twisted Citron Distress oxides and gold watercolour splatter to give it a subtle sparkle.

I die cut the sentiment 2 more times from more white card where one was to glued onto the back of ink blended version to provide a bit of height. For the second, this was adhered at a slight offset to give it a 3D effect. I used one of the carrot images to replace the letter ‘I’ to tie the sentiment and images together.

I am really happy with how the card turned out and it feels like I’m part of the Easter hunt too!

Happy Crafting,

Michelle
