A hand-coloured Easter Card featuring the gorgeous trio of animals from the Welcome Easter Stamp Set available in the Jan-Jun 2020 Mini Catalogue.
Project Recipe
Take a piece of Whisper White card stock measuring 6" x 8" and with the long side to the top of your Paper Trimmer or Simply Scoreboard, score down at 4". Use a bone folder to burnish the edge to give a crisp fold.
(As A4 cardstock is not 12" long, I cut my 6x4 bases slightly smaller so I can get 2 card bases out of my A4 card. This involves cutting the 6" side of the card at 5 27/32" instead. From here on, use the measurements in brackets when cutting the rest of your card pieces. If there are no bracketed measurements, everyone uses the same ones).
On a piece of Whisper White card stock measuring 3 3/4" x 5 3/4" (3 3/4" x 5 22/32") stamp the bunny image from the Welcome Easter Stamp Set at the bottom of the long edge as shown.
Make a mask of the bunny by stamping it onto a sticky note and cutting it out on the black outlines.
With the mask in place, stamp the chick and lamb either side of your bunny using Memento Ink (before cleaning off your used stamp, make a mask for the chick and lamb as in step 3. This will save some ink)
Cut out your other two masks, apply them to the other two stamped images then, using a stampin' sponge, ink the background with Call Me Clover and Balmy Blue Classic Inks using a circular motion until it resembles the background shown in the photo.
Using the following Stampin' Blends, colour your trio of friends:-
Chick - Light & Dark Daffodil Delight for the body.
- Light & Dark Pumpkin Pie for the legs & beak.
Bunny - Light & Dark Petal Pink for inside the ears, bottoms of the feet & nose.
- Light & Dark Crumb Cake for the chest
- Light & Dark Soft Suede for the body & head
Lamb - Light & Dark Smoky Slate for the face, ears & feet.
- Dark Basic Black for the nose.
- Light & Dark Flirty Flamingo for the bow tie.
Using Balmy Blue & Call Me Clover inks and a Stampin' Sponge, ink the edges of the panel.
On a piece of Whisper White card stock measuring 2 1/2" x 1", stamp the "Happy Easter" from the Welcome Easter Stamp Set using Balmy Blue Ink. Ink the edges with Balmy Blue.
Attach the panel to your card base.
Your card is now finished so sit back and admire your creation.
Happy Stampin'
