Happy Tuesday!
For April's Group Post it's all about Easter Projects. For this month's group post, I'm sharing my Happy Easter Card. To create my card, I've used dies from Joset Designs. Grab a cup of your favourite Springtime beverage and read below as I have a tutorial for you so that you can re-create my Happy Easter Card at home. You'll also want to make sure to stop by the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog to check out the rest of the projects.
To start, you'll need to die cut a 3 1/2" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut a 4" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of a piece of patterned paper. Ink the edges of both rectangles using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
The next five steps are using the Spring Basket die.
Die cut the basket out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Gathered Twigs Distress Ink over the entire surface of the basket.
Die cut the large grass patches three times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the small grass patches four times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Forest Moss Distress Ink over the entire surface of the large grass patches and one small grass patch. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Shabby Shutters Distress Ink over the entire surface of the three small grass patches.
Die cut the bow twice out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the middle and the tails out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Worn Lipstick Distress Ink over the entire surface of the bows, middle and tails.
Die cut two large eggs and two small eggs out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink over the entire surface of one of the large egg and one of the small eggs. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Worn Lipstick Distress Ink over the entire surface of the large egg. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over the entire surface of the small egg.
Die cut the flower die three times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the middles three times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. The first set of the flowers, use a blending tool with foam to blend Worn Lipstick Distress Ink over the entire surface of the flowers. The second set of the flowers, use a blending tool with foam to blend Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over the entire surface of the flowers. The third set of the flowers, use a blending tool with foam to blend Shaded Lilac Distress Ink over the entire surface of the flowers.
