Hello and welcome to this month’s Stamp ‘n hop Blog Hop where the theme is Easter. If you have joined me from the lovely Sandra then welcome, my name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. I hope you enjoy my project.
Making the Easter card
I started by taking a piece of Window Sheet about 5 ½” by 3 ¾” and ran it through the Big Shot with the large die from the Doily Builder Die set. This effectively created a stencil for me to use to make the background of the card.

I laid the stencil onto a piece of Whisper White measuring 5⅛” by 3⅜” and holding it firmly in place I inked it up using So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Grapefruit Grove inks applied using Sponge Daubers. I rounded the upper right corner using the Detailed Trio Punch and added the inked piece to a panel of So Saffron cardstock with the same corner rounded using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive.

I then stamped the cute little Peter Rabbit image in Gray Granite ink onto a scrap piece of Watercolor Paper and die cut it out using the Stitched Shapes framelits and my Big Shot. I used Crumb Cake, So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo inks and an Aqua Painter to paint the rabbit.

I used the Layering Oval dies to cut a scalloped oval and added it to the back of the stamped piece using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of Grapefruit Grove Grosgrain Ribbon around the inked panel and secured it on the back with Sellotape.

The oval topper piece was added to the panel, over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a bow of the same ribbon added with a Mini Glue Dot. The sentiment was added to the card front with Flirty Flamingo ink. The whole panel was then added to a Crumb Cake card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I finished off by adding a trio of Share What You love Artisan Pearls.

I used the stencil and inks in the same way to decorate a piece of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and adhered it to the inside of the card. I used the same technique to colour the front of the envelope.
Such a pretty card, I hope you like it. Please hop on the see what Jenna has to share with us.
