This Excellent Eggs Happy Easter Card is the first Easter card of the season for me! Believe it or not, Easter is less than a month away! Time to get out your bunnies and eggs and make some cards to send, too!
For this card, I used the Excellent Eggs Stamp Set in the Spring Mini Catalog. You’ll find it on page 27. You can also get the Dies that go with the stamp set to step up your egg-making! Get both together in the Excellent Eggs Bundle and save 10%.
I started just stamping both egg designs on Basic White in Memento ink so I’d have lots of eggs to choose from as I designed my card. Then I colored in with various Stampin’ Blends Markers. I didn’t so much use the Dark and Light to blend but just chose whatever colors I wanted to use. The two eggs that are the same design I colored a little differently.
The center egg looks as if it would be tough to color, but truthfully, it is easier than it looks! I colored in the bunnies with a couple of different browns, including the skin tones of Stampin’ Blends. Just choose whatever you like! After coloring the stones and the little flowers, it was easy to color the background grass! Don’t color super-carefully, just scritch-scratch around with that marker and before you know it you will have it all colored!
The card base is Petal Pink with the largest Scalloped Contours Die for the layer behind the Easter eggs. I glued the two outer eggs down flat on the card, but the center egg is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting is also in the Excellent Eggs Stamp Set. I stamped that in Petal Pink in on Basic White and die cut with a banner die in the Stylish Shapes Dies. It needed a layer so I adhered it to a strip of Petal Pink and flagged the ends to make a layer that fit right. This is adhered with a Dimensional on each end and a strip from the outer edge of the sheet of the Dimensionals placed at the bottom of the greeting so that it would go underneath the popped-up greeting and everything would fit.
For some bling, I added a few colored sequins in the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins. It’s always fun to add some embellishments if you can. At the same time, sometimes you have to know when to stop!
