Happy Easter!

Welcome Everyone;

Easter is just around the corner and one of the really things is making Easter eggs.  As a child, who didn't like getting messy, as well as creating master pieces of painted eggs.  That was one of the highlights of Easter while being allowed to getting a bit messy.  These young ones are definitely have  a spot fo fun.

Today's card is featuring the adorable Easter Fun and Script Eater Greetings, both from High Hopes Stamps.  After colouring the image with Copic Markers, I used a Square Die to cut it out.  I added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the eggs on the design paper.  Some twine and emamel dots finished off this CAS card.

Welcome back High Hopes Fans!

I had some fun playing with a High Hopes Easter stamp this week. How cute are these two?! 

When we were kids we used to put dye and water into a mug and let the egg sit until it was coloured. There was a special wire handle that came in the kit to put the egg in and out of the mug and fun stickers to decorate the eggs with.

Of course, while we were waiting for the dye we would make a huge mess with everything we weren't using <smile>. I had to use the fun paint splatter paper on this one! This stamp sure brought back some fun memories! 

After the stamp was coloured with alcohol markers, I cut it out using a classic circle die and then cut a scalloped die to go in behind it. The patterned paper pieces were cut to the size I wanted and placed on the card. Antique linen distress ink was put on all of the edges. Some fishtail banner tags were added along with some gumdrops and ribbon to finish off my card.
