Good morning and
happy Easter!
Wherever this post
finds you, I hope you're surrounded by family, friends and laughter. Today's post is a quickie for me as I'm on
the road visiting the in laws for dinner and some good ol'fashioned family
time.
A couple of months
ago I mentioned that I had started a card swap with a friend who also lives in
BC but lives too far to see all the time. This time, the theme was up to her
and her choice was Easter! I have to admit, I was quite excited by her choice but
as soon as I sat down to create, I realized how little I had in my stash. I had colored the bunny from the Mama
Elephant Birthday Cupcakes set for the 30 day coloring challenge and decided to
use the lightest one. I had also colored some leaves that I found in my stash
for the coloring challenge and decided to integrate those into my card face as
well.
I was pretty sure
that I wanted to have eggs on my card but I had no eggs or ovals in either my
stamps or dies! So I decided to dust off my Cricut and see what basic shapes I
could come up with.
While cutting some ovals, I thought perhaps I could create a
stencil with some acetate. I was so pleased when it worked. I used my mini ink
blending tool and some Apricot Mama Elephant pigment ink to blend my egg onto
my card face.
So there you have
it! An Easter card created using what I had around. After making the egg
stencil, I've had lots of ideas for other stencil ideas which I'm hoping to
have a chance to create in the near future.
