an EASTER card {ELIZABETH CRAFT DESIGNS}

hello crafty friends!

and here are the STEP_BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS on how to create this card: 

STEP 1: cut a 6 x 12″ panel out of WHITE soft finish cardstock. score and fold in half to form the card base. cut a slightly smaller panel from patterned paper and adhere it on top of the card base using mounting foam tape. 
STEP 2: using die set - STITCHED SQUARES {the second and the forth largest dies in the set} cut the ‘frame’ from pinkish pattern paper. {by carefully centering the smaller die inside the larger one there is a dotted edge at the outside and a clean edge along opening.}


 STEP 3: using die set - BUNNY,cut the bunny from WHITE soft finish cardstock and pink patterned paper.


 STEP 4: using die set - SPRING BASKET, cut the brown basket and the EASTER eggs from patterned paper and the grass from soft finish cardstock - CELADON GREEN. adhere the elements as shown in the photo below and in the main project photo using foam tape for dimension between the layers.


STEP 5: for the sentiment, die cut the tag from patterned paper using the smallest die from
die set - DASHING RECTANGLES. adhere the tag so it is tucked slightly behind the basket and over the pink frame. die cut the words using die set - words 3 - HAPPY HOLIDAYS. adhere the words as shown, overlapping a blade or two of the grass.
