Is it Easter yet?

Pin It Now! Today I'd like to share an Easter card with you. Easter is still several weeks away but it's never too early to get some projects done :) 







I inked up the grass from the set "Inspired by Nature" with Pear Pizzazz & stamped off onto Very Vanilla to get the shaded effect of the grass. On a piece of water color paper I stamped the little chick from the set "A Good Egg" with black StazOn & colored him in using the Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie (for his beak) markers & a blender pen. For his shell I used the Bashful Blue marker & blender pen.I don't know if you can see it very well but I covered his shell in Crystal Effects to give it a shiny look. While this was drying I used the other decorative images from the same set ("A Good Egg") & stamped them onto Pear Pizzazz, Regal Rose, & Perfect Plum card stock. Using the 3/4" x 15/16" oval punch I punched these out to create eggs. Once the egg shell was completely dry I popped the chick up on dimensionals on a layer of Bashful Blue & attached this to the vanilla base with Snail. I inked up the sentiment from the same set using the Perfect Plum marker & stamped it directly on the vanilla base.  Before putting the entire vanilla layer onto the Bashful Blue card base I used the Ticket Corner punch on all four corners. Once this was attached I put the bottom egg in the grass using Snail & popped up the other two eggs using dimensionals. In the photo I added a small dot in each corner with the Perfect Plum marker but after the fact I decided to add some of the Basic Pearls. Of course I forgot to take a picture of those! Oh well, I hope you enjoyed today's share & are able to enjoy some spring wherever you are today. Have a great rest of the week & thanks for looking!
