It's Anja here. Easter holidays are approaching and it's time to make some Easter cards. I decided to make an Easter wreath, using the new Fresh Spring Floral. It allows you to make a perfect wreath. I used eggs instead of flowers.
For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Fresh Spring Floral, Happy Phrase, Mr. Peter Rabbit, Nested Stitched Scallop Circle Set, Pierced Circle Set),
- watercolors,
- white watercolor card stock for die cuts,
- white card base (13,5x 13,5 cm),
- patterned paper (13x13 cm),
- acetate foil,
- adhesive foam pads,
- double sided adhesve tape,
- washi tape,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- paper glue.
First I die cut the pieces for the wreath. I die cut two sets. I used my new Gansai Tambi watercolors to color the greenery and the little flowers.
I added small white dots with white pen to the middle of the flowers.
Then I used the same colors to color a piece of paper. I drew stripes of different colors. I let the paper to dry.
Then I combined everything into the wreath and glued it together.
I cut a scalloped circle and then die cut another circle into it to make a circle frame. I glued the frame around the circle cut from the patterned paper.
Then I cut the circle into the card base and pattered paper. I used washi tape to hold the die to the middle of the paper.
I put stripes of double sided adhesive tape around the hole and glued acetate foil on it.
I added adhesive foam pads on the other side of the patterned paper. Then I glued the wreath on the foil and then the patterned paper on the card base.
Something was missing, so I decided to put a sentiment on the card. I die cut phrase happy from white card stock and glued it over the wreath.
I decided to hand write the phrase Easter inside. I used black pen.
And this is my finished Easter card.
Have a nice Sunday. I'll be back again next week.
