Amazing Easter Wishes

Easter is just around the corner and I have another Easter card to share with you today made using the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies from the Seasonal Motifs collection by Becca Feeken. This card was so quick and easy to create as I had everything I needed in this die set from flowers and leaves to the sweet little rabbit. All I needed was to add a butterfly and a gorgeous layering die and I was done! Easy Peasy!

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project Today

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card and layered the largest hemstitch rectangle die from the Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies with a gold background to the front of the card. I have then created the label from the Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies using a combination of yellow, gold and white cardstocks for a pretty base for the embellishments. I have coloured white cardstock with Saltwater Taffy, Kitsch Flamingo, Frayed Burlap and Tumbled Glass inks and die cut the flowers out before assembling them. I have used green cardstock for the leaves and yellow cardstock for the centres of the blue flowers. I die cut the rabbit out with some cream cardstock from my stash and sponged the edge with Frayed Burlap ink. I then added the flowers and leaves to the bottom left of the label and added the rabbit which has been shaped lightly and added it to the card using foam squares.

A sweet butterfly from the Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters Etched Dies and the sentiment from the Merry Everything Etched Dies completed my card.

I found the Easter Bunny!

Today I went out to take some photos down at the Hutt River and came across an errant bunny in the bushes around the bridge.  I managed to get one photo of it before it disappeared.  I thought the timing was quite timely especially as we have just had Easter in the weekend.  However, I could not find any Easter eggs – lol!

The Easter Bunny

While on Easter I have just purchased the Creative Memories Border Maker rustic fence cartridge and I could not resist making one last Easter card with it.  I can see myself using this cartridge a lot – and distressing it with inks as well.  This would look lovely with flowers and leaves climbing up on it on a card.  This cartridge is while stocks last only.

It seems strange to put a cute lamb on an Easter card in the southern hemisphere as Easter is a sign of Autumn for us with the changing colours of leaves and cooler temperatures (?), but it is a sign of rebirth that is universal.  I also love using the Classic Stickers from Creative Memories they are so colourful and pretty. Plus they are reasonably priced.
