Quick and Easy Easter Card

Stamp Fever is having a Make a Card event this Saturday. All the tools, stamps and inspiration will be supplied for making some Easter or Spring cards. I was asked to design a card that would be easy to make without help.
Here'e a photo of the 3 designs for the event, mine is on the right:



I used my favorite HA Leaf and Floral background to do a simple resist; going over it with Shabby Shutters ink. I over-stamped with HA Old Letter Writing in Shabby Shutters just because I like the extra texture it adds. The cross by Unity was stamped in Artprint Brown ink. The sentiment, an old Lizzie Anne stamp, is stamped on a punched label and added with pop dots over some tied twine.  Just a bit of green Smooch as accents on the leaves and flower centers and the quick and easy card is done.

Make sure you visit Lily Pad Cards on Sunday....there's a big celebration Blog Hop for our 1st anniversary!!  There will be some fabulous prizes too! Join us April 1-8.
blessings,
nancy
