I am on a kick of easy breezy cards lately. I think it’s the result of my desire to craft as well as get outside and enjoy the wonderful spring weather! I made this Easter card after seeing a cartoon with this caption online. It\u00a0had me giggling the whole time while I crafted my version using the Easter Die Set from Diemond Dies<\/a><\/span> (sorry, it’s out of stock right now). \u00a0 By the way,\u00a0Diemond Dies<\/a><\/span>, is having an awesome Spring Sale!!! Now through April 30, 2017 use the coupon code “spring20” on all orders of $25 or more and get 20% off everything (including sale items) and free worldwide shipping!<\/p>\n

<\/a>After rummaging through my scrap box, I found great fun patterned scraps in beautiful secondary but deep\/rich colors (I used 10 scraps up! Woot woot!) that I could die cut into a grassy hillside background with the MFT Die-namics Grassy Hills Die<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and a handful of little chickies with the\u00a0Easter Die Set from Diemond<\/a> Dies<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

I added little dot eyes to the chickies\u00a0with a Black Glaze Pen<\/a><\/span> (love the subtle shine and dimension) and shimmery beaks with a Metallic Gold Gelly Roll Pen<\/a><\/span>. I also inked all the edges of each die cut grass, sky and chick with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Mowed Lawn, Picked Raspberry or Salty Ocean to add a\u00a0finished look. I printed out the sentiment from my computer and inked the edges of that too. The whole card front is adhered to a square corrugated kraft card base, which I think adds a nice subtle interest to this simple card.<\/p>\n

This was s fun and fast little Easter card, and I love how it came out! I hope you all are having a wonderful spring! \u00a0This card is being entered into the following challenges:
