EASTER CARDS

Hi everyone, Martha Lucia here with two Easter cards to share with you. I am using the Easter Eggs to create my cards and of course pastel colors and a few sweet elements that I will show you. Here is my first card:

To make this card I am using the Easter Eggs that come in a package with different designs. This product is available in two sizes and two materials, wood and chipboard. I used the smail size, 1"x1-1/2".

In this opportunity I decided to coloring my pieces with Yasutomo Pearlescent Watercolor Set. I gave a different color to each easter egg.

I painted each egg with a paint brush using the watercolor technique and several coats of pearlescent to accent the color.

After I finalized with my easter eggs, I cut the card base using a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock of 6"x12", a piece of Blushing Bride of 5-3/4"x5-3/4" and a whisper white piece of 5-5/8"x5-5/8" to create the layers.

To decorate the third layer I used a stencil with big dots and blushing bride classic Ink with a sponge.

After this, I cut two pieces of grass using my cricut explore and a photo frame using the On Film framelits.

Now I had all the pieces to put together my first card so I started to assemble the second and third layer, tied two loops of baker twine and pasted the frame and grass over them 

After this, I pasted my easter eggs with a liquid glue and decorated with some paper flowers and stamped my sentiment.

As you will see, I didn't use all the eggs that I colored. So here is the last one in my second card. A clear and simple model that I created using the scraps of my fist card. 

To create this card, I just stamped a border image several times on the bottom part using a Cherry Blossom PowderPuff Chalk Ink. Then I pasted my Easter Egg on top using a liquid glue.

To finalize the decoration I cut a whisper white piece of card stock, I created a border over it using a Edgelits  and stamped my message with Melon Mambo Classic Ink. And I pasted a button on the left side with a bow of bakers twine and a little piece of grass over my Easter Egg.

ROSE FOR SPRING CARD

Hi friends, Martha Lucia here with you to share a sweet card with a Rose Cut Out in chipboard, one of the great products from Unique Laser Designs that I used to create my card.

This is the original Rose without any alterations. This flower  called Rose is available in MDF, Chipboard and cork. Also in two different sizes, 4-1/2"x3-1/4" the size that I used and 2"x1-1/2". In any form that you decide to use it´s beautiful, because you can decorate it with a lot of techniques to get different looks and textures like I made with mine.

This time I decided to work with PowderPuff Chalk Inks from Quick Quotes Scrapbook Company. Their colors are vibrant and the texture is very soft at the same time. 

I applied the color directly from the ink pad over the flower. I started with the leaves using the colors Soft Sage and Kakhi. Then I continued with the body of the flower, using the colors Coral and Orange Slice. The PowderPuff Chalk Ink dried very quick and when I was satisfied with the color, I covered the entire flower with Wink of Stella Brush to give it a bling.

To finish my card I created a base with Pistachio Pudding Card Stock with a second layer in the same color. I made a dry embossing to the second layer using a Plaid Background Embossing Folder and inked it with the same color of Classic Ink to create a tone by tone background. 

To give m card a more delicate look, to go with my Rose, I cut a piece of Vellum Card Stock, I pierced the vertical borders and stamped my sentiment on top with Versamark and Embossing Powder Wild Wasabi. 

Remember to heat the vellum when your heat tool reaches a stable temperature and to always heat from behind to avoid the paper bursting into flames.

After this, I pasted the vellum centered behind the Rose with glue dots and covered the glue dots with  little pearls.
