ONE Easter Card


This year I made just one Easter card.  It went to the January birthday boy....  I thought it would be perfect since he couldn't enjoy Easter last year - he was just too little.
This is a stair-step card.  Directions for construction can be found on Splitcoast Stampers.

I keep a copy of the Egg Wheel on my craft desk all year round (like I keep Christmas trees up in my house all year) (NOT the big tree).  I broke out the watercolors, and colored each image on this card - the Egg Wheel with 7 eggs, the 2 bunnies, the egg plants, mushrooms, the chick and balloon.

I don't use it often, but the grass scissors came in handy for this one!

Easter Cards 2013

 This stamp set is called Everybunny, and the wheel is Every Egg.

Truthfully, I didn't really consider this set for quite awhile when the catalog came out, but after looking at it and thinking of possibilities, I jumped in and ordered both.

The technique is called a Stair Step Card, and uses a Martha Stewart grass punch, as well as my Spectrum Noir markers.  LOTS of Spectrum Noir markers, as you will see. :)

The two bunnies and hot air balloons weren't so daunting, but when I stamped and started on the egg border, I almost didn't finish it - it took me 3 1/2 days of work to get all the egg borders colored.  On top of that, I fussy cut each one.  Just a comment about that - I really do love how the alcohol markers blend!  They give such pretty effects.

Why so daunting?  I made 7 of these cards for family members.  They went out in the mail this past week, so they should have arrived by now.

 The sentiment, Happy Easter is actually on the back - it just didn't quite fit on the front of the card! :)
