Hello crafting friends. I have an Easter card to share with you today.
When I saw this Rainbow Egg die set from Kat Scrappiness, I knew that I would have to have it 😀 I not only love its design, but also its size. I tend to make 5.5" x 5.5" or 6.5" x 5" cards. There are some gorgeous dies for Easter out there, but I find that a lot of them are geared towards the mostly used A2 size card, here in the US. As you can see this beautiful Easter egg fits perfectly in this 5.5" square card.
I cut it out of pearlescent white and pearlescent dusty rose cardstocks, by Sara Davies. Next I did a little paper piecing as I adhered the egg to the backing cardstock. Although, beautiful on its own, I added an Easter egg topper from Hearty Crafts called Easter Chicks. As you know by now, I don't do CAS cards very well, and all that white space was just screaming at me for some pearls 😀, which I dotted here and there in little clusters. I must admit that I love the way this card came out. So much so, that I'm busy with a second one and will share it with you tomorrow.
On the inside, I kept it fairly simple. I was going to cut another egg, mat it and stamp the sentiment on it, but unfortunately, I ran out of the dusty pink pearlescent cardstock. That's what happens when you use scraps 😀 So I took one of the little strips that was left and using a StampinUp! punch, I cut a decorative border. The sentiment and butterfly are from the Easter Bunnies stamp set from Art Impressions.
Before I leave you, I would like to invite you to take a look at Kat Scrappiness store, where you'll find not only beautiful dies and stamps, but also crafty tools and the most beautiful array of sequins and sprinkles. Stop by and be pleasantly inspired.
Till tomorrow,
It's gorgeous, Lena! xoxo
