Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, sharing a pretty Easter card I created using stamps, dies, and stencils from Time For Tea Designs. I love the soft, watercolour look and feel of the background.
To create the background, I first soaked the Evergreen Bough, Chipped Sapphire, and Seedless Preserves Distress Watercolour Pencils in water to soften them. Then, I scribbled the colours onto the back of the Eggstra Special Layering Stencil and spritzed it with water. After pressing it onto Distress Watercolour Cardstock by Ranger, I let the stencil sit for a few moments before removing it and heat-setting the panel.
Next, I used the second part of the layering stencil, along with mini ink-blending tools, to apply the same Distress Ink colours to the eggs. I lightly spritzed the background with water to help disperse the colours, then heat-set it again. To finish the background, I added splatter using all three colours, along with Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain. Once everything was dry, I trimmed the panel to 4 x 5 1/4 inches using a die.
The large eggs were die-cut from Distress Watercolour Cardstock using the Eggstra Special Slimline Add On Horizontal Die. I coloured one egg with Carved Pumpkin, Spiced Marmalade, and Mustard Seed Distress Watercolour Pencils, and the other with Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, and Picked Raspberry. After they dried, I added white paint details using a Posca pen.
The bunny and chick are from the Eggstra Special Birthday stamp set. I stamped them using Fadout No Line Colouring Detail Ink from Ink on 3 and coloured them with Copic markers.
I trimmed a piece of vellum to wrap around the inked panel, then adhered it to an A2 card base covered with silver-patterned paper.
Finally, I used liquid glue to adhere the stamped images and added the “Hoppy Easter” sentiment to complete the card.
