I've made quite a few birthday cards and got behind on making Easter cards. Here are 2 I finished in the last few days. First is my entry for
Pinkfresh March Challenge using Dainty Blossoms and Elongated Ovals die sets.
I colored the bouquet with metallic pink and green watercolors. The light pink cardstock panel was splattered with gold watercolor. Love the tiny Heidi Swapp gold alpha stickers I've had forever.
The shimmer and shine is really beautiful in person. You can see it better in
my IG video. I'm also entering
WAW.
A few years ago, my friend
Betty gave me a couple cardstock panels covered with a beautiful wide washi--might be from The Ton. I remember that she used the eclipse technique with a panel and I love the look. Thought this large Penny Black butterfly die would be perfect and it was, in my opinion.
I backed it with 2 additional layers and spritzed it with a shimmer spray before gluing it back in place. The washi's foiling looks rose gold to me, so I pulled out my 2 embossing powders and one was an almost perfect match. I used it for Poppystamps Proper Happy Easter outline and background diecuts and used white cardstock for the letters. Finished off with a few pretty pink sequins. I'm entering
Allsorts Challenge.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
The oval shape on the first makes a perfect frame for the floral dies, the Butterfly card just yells Spring and so very pretty.

Fabulous card Greta.
ReplyDeleteWhen you think of Easter cards, you usually think of eggs and bunnies, but your cards show that it doesn't have to be that way. Beautiful, delicate flowers are just as fitting for Easter.
