Good Morning! I hope everyone had a lovely Easter! Today's challenge was to make an Easter card, and I had this lovely digital stamp from Aurora Wings to use. I sized it in my word processing program, printed it out on SU Whisper White, and colored with markers. Then I fussy cut it out.
I was thinking of Charleston, Savannah, and New Orleans--the lovely wrought ironwork they have in those cities, and how gorgeous they look in the spring when everything is blooming. So I decided to use my much neglected Ornamental Iron cartridge. I cut this gate at 5.5" high. There was a row of little square cutouts at the bottom which I trimmed off. I layered it onto some yellow floral patterned paper and placed my image over it, but it looked too stark, so I added a layer of vellum cardstock. It softened up the wrought iron and allowed the image to really pop. Since glue shows through vellum, I attached it with brads. I embossed Easter Wishes from PTI's Mega Mixed Messages on the vellum in black.
Please play along with us at FCCB this week! Just make a project using Easter or a bunny and at least one Cricut cut and upload it to the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog--that's all there is to it! You could win $10 worth of digi images from Aurora Wings!
Thanks for dropping by today! Have a wonderful week!
