Easter Fun!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made an Easter card using Easter Fun - Q023 by High Hopes Rubber Stamps for the main image and Hoppy Easter - H245 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. This image reminds me so much of when I was younger. Every year, my mom would make boiled eggs and then we would all sit around the table and put them in the various dies to make some cool colourful eggs. It was always so much fun!

 To make my card this week, I used AC White Paper for my base folded at 6" x 6". I combined 2 separate pieces of purple ribbon and some patterned ribbon eggs together using double sided tape. I attached this to Your Next Stamp Designer - Happy Spring paper. Then I attached this directly to the base using double-side tape. The sides were all inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Wilted Violet. The egg embellishments were die cut using my Cuttlebug and Lawn Fawn - Mini Easter Eggs. The top layers were cut from Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and coloured with Copic B01 and BG32. The bottom layers were cut from Crafts - Sparkling Stickers  - 02-3068629. I added some glue to the top layer and attached them to the base egg. I attached these directly to the base.

The background for the bunny image was cut using Whimsy - Nested Frames Die Set. The background die was cut from Hot Buy - Recollections - Jewel Tones and them main image cut was from Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The base frames were attached to the background using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape. The main image Easter Fun - Q023 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) and Hoppy Easter - H245 sentiment were stamped using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink. The main image was coloured in with Copic Markers and the sentiment was coloured in using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Clear - Wink of Stella was brushed over top to make it sparkle.

To assemble the remainder of my card, I ran the coloured image and sentiment through my Xyron's and then attached them to the base shapes on the card.
