Vintage Inspired Easter Card

The Webster's Pages papers I added to my stash recently have really inspired a romantic, vintage vibe to my card-making lately. And of course when I saw Suzanne's absolutely gorgeous egg cards the inspiration was complete. I am entering this Easter card in the current Cards Blog challenge.

I used the Shattered or Cracked Glass technique on the vintage image from The Graphics Fairy inside the egg and then added some gold Stickles.

I stamped Old Letter Writing in Bundled Sage Distress Ink on the Webster's Pages paper, then I tore it, distressed the edges with both a paper distress tool and Milled Lavender Distress ink before adhering it to the card base. The card base was inked with Milled Lavender Distress Ink then stamped with Hero Arts Dots and Flowers in Stormy Sky and Antique Linen Distress Inks.
For the egg I used Linda's template which I resized smaller before printing on white cs and cut a circle in the center. I stamped Floral Scallop with Versamark ink then embossed with Pearlustre Embossing Powder in Amethyst. Then I covered the whole egg with Versamark ink and clear embossed, then covered it again with Versamark and embossed with Kaleidoscope embossing powder to give it a glittery appearance. It was added to the card in pop-dotted layers with the vintage image in the center.
The card was finished with a purple crepe bow and glitter added to the flowers and bird on the pp.

Baby Update: My niece gave birth to baby Reece at 8:30 this morning and everyone is doing very well...especially my sister, the proud grandma!

Thought for the Day: Phil 1:6 "He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."
The same verse in a modern translation: "And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns."

Blessings to you,
