Hi bloggers! I know that Easter is a bit earlier this year so I thought I would try to get my Easter cards up on the blog before it actually arrives this year! Before you read the description of how it was made, any idea what die I have used for the tufts of grass in among the Easter eggs?? Hmmm, let's see if you can guess before you read what it is! I started this card by puling out my Double Pierced Noble Rectangles and Ovals sets to create several frames. I cut a multi layered frame of blush card, kraft card and coconut white card using the Ovals (both sets). I embossed a piece of coconut white card with the new TulipTwist embossing folder and seated the frames over it. Then I created the rectangular frames out of coconut white card and added a solid white unembossed piece as the backing behind those and glued my ova frames into the centre of that. Next I cut the Easter Basket die in Kraft card and backed it in Chestnut Brown. I cut off the tabs (which are for use to make it 3D) and added mounting foam to the back of the basket. I cut the eggs out of custard, blush and sky blue and added them to the basket. To add a bit of greenery around them, I cut the Chrysanthemum die, yes, it is a flower die! I cut it up into pieces and added it around the eggs as a bit of embellishment. The bunny was designed to sort of look like a chocolate bunny (like you buy in the shops) so I decided to cut him in dark brown card. I added the bunny and a couple of eggs and "greenery" around the outside of the basket. I used the bow from the set and added it to the handle and cut the Happy Easter phrase and glued it to the top of the oval frame. The card was completed with a simple white on white mat and layer. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 3/4"in size. All for now, Sue x
Happy Easter
