Easter Card

Hi Stampers, I am getting ready for a class on Tuesday. The ladies had asked for a Easter Card. I do not have any Easter type stamps that would be suitable for this class. I had to really think hard about this. I knew that at least I had an Easter Greeting.

When we think of Spring we think of Easter, so what would be more appropriate that a Tulip. They are usually the first flower to bloom in the Spring.

I used the tulip from Garden Whimsy, sentiment from All Holidays,DSP Raspberry Tart, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Regal Rose Card Stock.

I also used my new texture plates from SU on the Pink Pirouette, sponged the edges and over the top of the embossing to give it some more depth. They are bigger than the cuttlebug embossing folders as they cover a much bigger area and are not a folder but a plate. You can find them on page 203 of the catalogue.

I used Regal Rose and Always Artichoke markers to color the tulip and stems. Thanks for looking.

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade

Well we had rain that turned into ice here. I had to cancel my class last night because all the roads were like hockey rinks. I had already prepared for my class and one of the cards was to be for Valentines Day. I wondered what I would do with all those pieces. So after I spent several hours chopping the ice on the sidewalk so that no one would hurt themselves this is what I came up with.

I decided on Garden Whimsey, I stamped the butterfly on the card stock and again on another piece of card stock. I covered the butterfly and wheeled the Whimsy Wheel inked up with Red Riding Hood. I cut out the second butterfly and glued it on top of the first butterfly. I punch out some of the holes with the 1/4" punch and 1/16" punch so that the Red Riding Hood card stock would show thru.



The three squares at the bottom were made with the punches with the exception of the pattern paper which was cut 1" square.
