Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!  Yes I know it was yesterday but today is still a holiday right? Today I am sharing a little Easter basket and a card especially made for Spring, let's hope it is just around the corner at last.

Here's a closer look at the basket.  I ran the card through the textured embossing folder so that it looked a little more basket like.  The flowers are made using the boho blossom punch with dsp and card. Oh and I added a little pearl in the centre of each one.
Hands off! The eggs are mine!

My Spring card is a very simple design, definitely a "less is more" card. I used the Spring sampler stamps and layered the images using square punches and the postage stamp punch.

Another Easter ATC

Today I made another ATC for Lesley's Easter swap. I was worried that the elephant didnt really fit in properly so having found a suitable stamp at the NEC on saturday I got the watercolour pencils out again and this is the result :)

Easter ATC's

As someone who does not get on very well with Rubber stamping I'm still not quite sure how I ended up joining in with the Rubber stamping monthly swap on Craftswap forum. I have to confess to cheating a bit as while the images are stamped it wasn't me who did the stamping. I colour washed the images with water colour pencils, a new technique for me. I really enjoyed it and am quite pleased with the results. Not sure how Lesley will feel about the inclusion of a baby elephant for the Easter theme though.
