Basket of Eggs for Easter

Basket of Eggs for Easter - Front
This card is make for my best friend who is also my daughter's godmother in celebration of coming Easter Day. 

It is inspired by Lawnscaping Challenge #7 - Make Your Own Patterned Paper Using Stamps. Coincidentally, Kelly Marie Alvarez, owner of Lawn Fawn is this week guest designer and upon minutes watching into her video, I quickly grab my stuffs and begin stamping.

Eggs patterned paper
Although I do not have any Lawn Fawn stamps yet, I am using my own collection to make the patterned paper. Since I wanted to make an Easter Day card, I used the three (3) eggs from Studio G Series 29 VC0008 Girl and Boy Bunnies to create the patterned paper. Coloring is taking some times as Easter eggs are colorful and in various design.

Close-up : Zig zag blue strip
Then, a blue cardstock is trimmed with zig zag craft scissor at two (2) ends. It is attached onto the egg patterned paper.

The basket of eggs from Studio G Series 29 VC0008 is stamped on white cardstock and colored. Then, it is trimmed in circle and distressed with some blue ink. The circle is then attached on the left side on the blue zig zag strip.

Close-up : "Happy Easter" sentiment and gems
Sentiment of "Happy Easter" from Studio G Series 29 VC0008 Girl and Boy Bunnies is stamped on the right of the basket of eggs onto the blue zig zag strip. Three (3) yellow gems are added below the sentiment to finish the card. The whole patterned paper is then attached onto an amber base card.
