Happy Easter!
We’re wrapping up our vacation and heading home today (always the sad
part) but we’ve had such a fun and relaxing time with lots of memories to
cherish. Today’s card is a combo using
this weeks Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch
challenge along with the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog stamp set focus,
using Sheltering Tree. This stamp set is
so fun, you can create a beautiful card for any season or occasion using the
different stamps included in the set. It’s a builder set so you can use any of
the pieces necessary and colors to build the image you want. With the arrival of spring, and Easter only
two days away, I used that as inspiration for this card, as well as a memory of when I was young.
When I was a child my grandparents gave us decorative sugar eggs for Easter and they were so pretty, they looked like sugar eggs on the outside and were hollow and had an oval opening and showed a fun Easter scene inside the egg (of course these were all made of sugar) but I decided to use this memory as inspiration for this card.

For this card I started with a cardbase of Blushing Bride and then added a layer of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I stamped the image on a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the
Sheltering Tree stamp set. I built it using lots of the stamps and colors so I had a pretty spring scene. Next I took a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock and cut an opening out using the
Big Shot and
Oval Collection Framelits, then embossed it with the
Delicate Dots Embossing Folder and then added faux stitching using a
Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker.
I created the flowers using the flower punch from the
Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and Blushing Bride and Strawberry Slush cardstock. After punching out the layers I curled the petals using a
bone folder and then attached little
pearls in the center of each. The final touch was to add the greeting, I decided to get a head start on Mother's Day and used the
Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and punched out the greeting using the
Modern Label Punch and attached with
dimensionals. For a final bit of bling a colored a couple of
pearls using a
blendabilities marker before attaching them to the greeting piece.
This card has lots of elements that really add to the beauty and elegance of the card. It really does remind of those Easter eggs from my childhood and I love it!
