Another

This one I made for one of my sisters.  I'm going to enter this one into the Twinery's challenge #003 as well. For this one I used Lilac twine.

Banner Easter Cards

I made a few new Easter cards for my family.  This one is going off to my grandparents. 

I am entering this card into the Twinery's TT003 challenge "It's a Banner Day!"  I used their Blossom twine to string the egg banner

Last egg

This is the last egg card that I made.  I popped up the surrounding polka dotted purple bit.  I added texture to the center egg with Darice's Argyle embossing folder, then I brushed ink all over it to give it depth.  Cute.

Egg-cellent

Here is another Easter card.  For this one, I popped up the center egg, not the surrounding green part.  There's some "blossom" twine in there from The Twinery.  They make a great product.

Egg cards

So I decided that I wanted to make a few more egg-shaped cards since Easter is fast approaching.

This one is probably my favorite of the 3 that I will show you in a minute.  The center egg has 6 different washi tapes making up its pattern and color.  The yellow outside is popped up and I added a fun twine detail.  The twine is from The Twinery (Caribbean color, so pretty).  The card base is a pretty blue cardstock called "Bluebell" from Paper Source.

Scraps

I had this fun negative image left over after I cut a few clovers for my last project, so I thought I'd fashion another card.  The clover negatives are "Lky Ttl-s" cut from Create A Critter 2.  I used some green chevron washi tape and a large faux bois background stamp.  There's plenty of twine there too, from The Twinery.  I used their Peapod and Honeydew colors.

 I'll enter this into PTT's Challenge #110 "Die Cuts" and The Twinery's Chevron & Green Challenge

Green Beer

Lots of great inspiration this week.  This is the card I came up with after I pondered all the fun challenges from my favorite craft blogs.
