Happy Easter Tilda

Yesterday it dawned on me that I have all these gorgeous Easter stamps and papers - and I don't think I've done even one Easter card this year!  Out came a brand new piece of Xpress It cardstock and I stamped various Magnolia images and I settled in to enjoy a night of colouring on the couch next to my sick daughter.  Luck was not with me last night.  I managed to be just adding the final touches to my image, when my brand new copic marker decided to let out a drop of ink!  ARGH!  So, there went Tilda and her Bunny...and I moved on to Tilda holding egg basket:

Once again during the final touches on her basket, my copic marker (this time a different colour!) let out a drop of ink.  Hmmm.  Is someone trying to tell me I need to clean my house and not colour?  NAH!  Although I am finding the switch from Paper Trey Ink cardstock to Xpress It extremely difficult - any advice is greatly appreciated!

I embossed the sentiment on the front with Stampin' Up! black embossing powder and I followed the sketch at Card Patterns for a chance to win a gift certificate to Paper Makeup Stamps.


This gorgeous paper is from Kaiser Kraft and you will see it again tomorrow for my Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog creation!  I kept the inside simple although I did stitch along the edges of the patterned paper. 


This card will be entered into the following challenges:

Cupcake Crafts - Lots of Layers (I have four)
Papertake Weekly - Spots N Stripes
Simon Says - Emboss It!
7 Kids College Fund - Easter & Spring

Thank you for looking!  Remember to check out the details of my blog candy here!
