Happy Easter
Hello crafters! I started with a piece of white card and used Picked Raspberry distress ink and used a smoothie to work the colour from the edge towards the centre of the card, leaving a lighter area for the egg. I then used the Elemental Swirl stamp and inked it with Black Archival ink and worked my way all the way around the card with the swirls. Next I cut the Stained Glass Tulip Egg outer die from black gloss card. I cut the inside egg part of the die in black card. I coloured the egg with markers but used a soft white pencil in each section to give highlights. I cut the Happy Easter sentiment in black and added it to a white shadow backing piece, then attached it below the egg. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now. Sue x
