Easter

Good Morning Fellow Bloggers, and thanks for joining me. I'm posting today using Firefox, while still trying to isolate the 'odd links' problem that showed up in my post of yesterday. I worked last evening on another Easter card; DH had a suggestion for how I should do this one, so the design is to his credit. Any problems with execution...well, I have to claim credit for that!! He had seen the small flower images I had scattered on the desk, remembered a 'cut-out' card we saw at February's stamp show; said "Why don't you do a card like that?". Easy for him to say. I didn't have the right size punches to cut the 'windows', the Spellbinder circle dies didn't fit exactly right ...so I had to improvise. Here it is:

 

- cardbase is a lightweight lime green Bazzill from stash

- flower image was stamped, colored with copics last year; punched this year - with SU 1 1/2 circle punch

- blue mat diecut with S/binder classic circle small - trying to fit size to the SU punch

- yellow mat diecut with S/B classic circle small - again working with small & large classic circle set to get a 'fit'. Papers were from stash.

- sentiment layers cut with SU oval punches; stamp from SU Teeny Tiny wooden set using Memento Bahama Blue, turquoise rhinestone trim

- Cheery Lynn egg diecut with the yellow & blue papers. In trying to select which color I liked, found I liked the overlay look, so used both papers

- corner punch is from a largish Marvy punch that was one of my first ever purchases.

Thought about adding the same turquoise rhinestones on the centers in the egg - thought it might be a bit much, so didn't.

I used a S/Binders classic large circle to cut the windows on the cardbase, and the window is just a tad bigger than I wanted...Was the best fit of what I had available. This was another experiment just to see what I'd come up with! Sometimes you win, sometimes....well, I learn from all of it! Good or bad. 

Hope you have a lovely afternoon. Thanks for stopping to visit. Hugs
