Fairy Stamper ~ Easter Greetings

 Hello friends and welcome to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

Easter is next weekend and I'm still a few cards short.  Fortunately, those that needed to be mailed overseas are already on their way, so now to focus on the ones for local family members.

I began by making a mask of an Easter egg and placed it more or less in the center of the smooth cardstock panel. This egg came out a little wonky, but that is what's special about being handmade, right?  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! 😀

Next I stamped the bunnies, then the grass and then inked the sky.  I wasn't too happy with the way the grass came out so drew in a few tufts here and there to complete the scene. And now for confession time.  If you're a crafter, I'm sure you'll understand ... hubby came in asking me for a sharpie.  Wanting to see that it was one of the ones that worked, (yes, I need to go thru and throw out the ones that don't) I took the cap off and dropped the dang thing right on my card.  Not having time to start over, I decided to hide the black smudge with some die cut Easter eggs.  Since I often use stamps and dies on my projects, I think it worked out okay.

I really struggle with CAS cards, all that white just gets to me and begs to be filled in with something 😀 So I stamped the greeting at the top and added a few more Easter eggs, as well as a lil carrot, at the bottom.  To complete my scene,  I added the lil butterflies.  See, I told you, I just can't leave well enough alone! 😀

I did on the inside though - just stamped the sentiment and the grass and then added a few die cuts of Easter eggs and another carrot.   Of course, the only reason there is so much white is because I need space to write my message 😀

Now for the list of supplies I used, each linked to the Fairy Stamper store, for your convenience.
