I recently took a class taught by my friend Cheiron. She used this adorable stamp set and die set from Reverse Confetti, and after the class, I had to get the items for myself. I mean, they are just too perfect!
This card is both simple and complex -- I guess simple in its design but complex in its execution. The die set only comes with one egg die, so for each egg carton I had to run the egg die through my Sizzix Big Shot six times! The carton pieces are cut from Neenah 110lb white card stock, and the eggs are cut from Tim Holtz Distress White Heavystock.
I cut each egg from paper on which I'd already ink blended the six Distress Inks I used (Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, and Wilted Violet). Once cut, I added even more ink to each egg with my blender brushes, to get them as vibrant as possible. Then I spritzed each egg with a generous amount of Lawn Fawn's Liquid Stardust mixed with some water in a little spray bottle. After the eggs had dried, they looked like shimmery tie-dye. Very cool!
I added a tiny bit of shading to the edges of the egg carton pieces using Antique Linen Distress Ink. I assembled the top of each egg carton by holding the eggs into place with glue dots.
The pieces of the egg carton were mounted onto the card base (from Lawn Fawn's Watercolor Wishes) with foam squares. I stamped the sentiment with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.
I Hope that my crafty friends love the happy mail that's on it way to them!
