Simple Easter Card

This Easter card takes minutes. First, create a template. If you don't have a shape cutter then you can do as I did and keep the shapes from an Easter egg box and use them as a stencil.

Decide where you want the shapes to be on the card and use the template to create the design or draw the shapes on a separate piece of card so you can add them later by using 3D sticky foam for a raised effect.

Decorate the eggs shapes with ProMarkers, watercolours, coloured pencils etc. If you use ProMarkers as I did then bear in mind that the colours can come through onto the other side of the card so it is better to colour and decorate the shapes on separate card and then attach them to your card blank. Also, I've found some colours don't scan well so watercolour might work better.

Once the main design has been added, then ribbons, buttons, gems and greetings can be included.

Happy Easter!

It'll be Easter soon so I've been using it as an excuse to buy more craft materials  to make Easter cards.  Although I've made cards in the past, I've not made them from scratch and I often used the designs from craft magazines as inspiration.

With these cards, I've made them myself from a kit I brought on eBay.  I like the way they've worked out so far and I'm going to be making plenty more.

My favourite is the Bunny!
