Easter Card



Easter is just around the corner. Here's a card that cuts corners - oh, what an awful pun!   Anyway, I lifted the idea for my oval card from this card at Two Peas in a Bucket by joyfulitl.

She used Close to My Heart's Cricut cartridge to cut the shape.  This looks like a fantastic cartridge with lots of versatility.  I've never ordered anything from CTMH but it looks like they have some very pretty products.

I used my SCAL software and my Cricut to come fairly close and add a second layer.  For the flowers, I used the Upsy Daisy stamp, markers and a spritz of water before stamping to give that watercolor look.  I learned the hard way that one light spritz is all it takes or your flowers look like they have been through a flood.

Thanks for visiting today!

Ingredients:  Stamps:  Upsy Daisy and All Holidays by Stampin' Up!
Markers:  Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasbi, Pretty in Pink
Twine:  Doodlebug
Cardstock:  Melon Mambo

  2. beautiful Easter card Lisa-love the bright colors you have used-had to laugh at the "light spritzing" comment. I tried this once and I had the flood. Didnt try it again

    LOL, at the flowers looking like they were in a flood if too much water is used ;)
