I’ve never really considered Easter as a card-sending occasion, but I know some people like to send cards to their loved ones, so I do make a few for Operation Write Home. I shared one card last Friday, and today’s post has another Easter card.
Today’s card was created following the Inkspirational “CASE” challenge. There are several different variations among the crafting world about what “CASE” stands for; I prefer the definition “Copy And Selectively Edit”. So I’ve used the exact layout of the sample card, but changed up the colors, images and orientation (the original has the fold at the top, but mine folds on the left), and added some piercing. I stamped the eggs on the white panel and attached it flush to the card base. The blue panels on top of it were attached with dimensional adhesive – partly to avoid smushing the piercing, and partly just to give some extra visual interest.
Thanks for stopping by today! Be prepared to see some more Easter cards over the next week or so.
Supplies:
Stamps: Easter Eggs (Close to My Heart); Egg-Cited Cocoa (Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps)
Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Whisper White (Stampin’ Up)
Ink: Bashful Blue, Daffodil Delight, Certainly Celery (SU)
Other: piercing tool (Making Memories); dimensionals (SU)
