Happy Easter

Hi All,

Well it's just about that time....Easter is on it's way! Love this time of year, flowers blooming, trees, grass turning green and birds chirping. Best of all I love the Beautiful Bright Cheery colors we get use to make crafts, Love it!!

We at Crafty Sentiments have a New Challenge - Bright Colors! Yep, Get out those beautiful bold bright cheerful colors and start creating something Bright! :D 
This card I made with Molly Easter Egg. To me it looks like she's sitting on a large egg waiting for her Easter Day to begin. I know when my girls were little they just couldn't wait to get Easter Day started, finding those Easter Eggs was always a fun time. :D

Here is my card - 

I know it's a little simple but lately I just don't know where my fancy smancy decorating went. Maybe simplicity is in for me right now. Just gotta go with the flow.



 

It's double fold card, I used Wilton Cake Sticks as balloons and my egg in the grass.

Grass is cut with my Cricut. I love the DCWV Sunday Afternoon stack with this

nice sky that has tons of texture and patterns with sparkle.

 

 

I just thought she is so cute. :D  Her bright yellow top, little blue skirt and her tennis shoes with sparkly laces. :D

Supplies -
stamp - Crafty Sentiments - Molly Easter Egg
inks - copics and some bic markers
paper - SU - white cs; Neenha cs; DCWV - Sunday Afternoon; Recollections - green
Accessories - Wilton cake sticks - my balloons and pink egg; Cricut image - grass; Memory Makers twine; Stickles - Cotton candy
