Got Candy?

 Hello there!  It's time for some Easter cards this week.  I was busy making cards last week to mail off in time for Easter.  I'll be sharing them on my blog this week, so stay tuned. 

I did a really fun pastel ink blend for the background of this card.  Then I 3D embossed it.  I added some stamped and embossing glazed bunnies and some fun die cut eggs.  Then I added some mica flakes that I colored with Alcohol ink.  It looks just like Easter grass.  So much fun!

Supplies:
Distress Oxide - Kitsch Flamingo, Squeezed Lemonade, Tumbled Glass, and Dusty Concord
Tim Holtz - 3D embossing folder - Intertwine
Tim Holtz - Bunny Games - dies (eggs)
Tim Holtz - Spring Shadows - stamps (bunnies, sentiment)
Tim Holtz - Mr. Rabbit - stamps (polka dots on eggs)
Distress Oxide - Gathered Twigs + Vintage Photo embossing glaze (bunnies)
foam tape
Glossy Accents + Mica flakes -colored with Alcohol ink- Pink Sherbet

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a blessed Easter!
