Happy Easter

With Easter approaching, I found that Martha Stewart Craft's "English Garden" crafting paper collection was perfect for the occasion. This set comes with 6 colours, but I only used 3: sea lavender*, endive*, water green, pink viburnum*, sweet pea and swan. I matched these heavier card stock with crosshatch design paper from the "Sun Room" collection: fennel, glacial stream, and quince flower. The little bunny stickers are also from the Martha Stewart Craft line, from the baby girl set. In addition to the bunnies, there are ducks and teddy bears, which will probably appear in upcoming 'baby girl' cards.

Here are the 5 Easter cards:

1) Pink Bunny Easter card
2) Green Bunny Easter card
3) Green Daisies Egg card
4) Blue Butterflies Egg card
5) Blue Dotted Egg card

Techniques used: embossing, 3D foam mounting

Tools used: scissors, paper trimmer, scallop-circle punch, corner punch, glue-dots, adhesive tape runner. wood-mounted rubber stamps

Materials: card stock, embossing stamp pad, green ink pad, embossing powder in "pearl" and "lullaby blue", gel pens, ribbon, stickers, embellishments, 3D foam dimensionals, buttons
