Easter Egg

Easter Egg

Hi There!

The daffodils are out, 

the crocus and hyacinth

bulbs bursting forth, birds

singing their little heads

off  Spring must be on the

way.  Wonderful. 

Here is an Easter Card for you

today from Angela Radford

 "Hi all I'm here to show you how 

I've made this Easter card using one 

of the Jofy stamps Jofy53 by Paper Artsy. 

As you can see I have only stamped

 the flower section of this stamp and 

not the stem. 

I used Versafine Black Archival and

 then embossed with clear powder.

 I know they are not meant to be eggs 

but I'm sure you'll agree they do look 

like them. 

I coloured these with brush tip

 ink pens and added highlights

 with a white pen

 Before completing this card I splattered 

Distress ink onto the card blank. 

Just smooth some ink onto a craft mat 

and add a little water then use a brush

 to flick it onto the card. 

I played around with the eggs and 

decided to use just three and

 also added the little birds from 

Kim Dellow stamp EKD02 stamping a

 little towards the back of the card.

 I coloured these yellow so they looked

 like little chicks.

The background was made by applying 

Distress Oxides straight to the card ,

 one colour at a time, spritz, drip and dry.

 The large sentiment stamp is by 

Woodware and the Easter text is one

 from my stash. 

I stamped around the edge with a 

stamp from a Lin Brown set ELB33 and

 completed the card with a few coloured sequins. 

The lines around the edge were drawn 

free hand with a black felt tip pen and

 that's it, all done. 

Have a lovely Easter, Angela xXx"

And you have a lovely Easter too

Angela.  Thank you for the

beautiful card too.  

So bright a colourful - really brings a

smile don't you think? 

Of course, if you don't celebrate

Easter then this card could be used

for any other celebration - just use

the "eggs" the other way up and

they become Balloons!  

Finally add a greeting appropriate

to the occasion.  

I'll leave you with that 

'Till tomorrow
