Hello friends~ Just thought I'd share a couple of cards I made for Easter.
I pulled out all the supplies for these cards except for stamps. There is no stamping on these cards.
I bought a sweet set of 6x8 Mintay Papers called Spring Is Here. It is filled with soft colors and patterns that play really well together.
There are a few cut apart pages included in the pad with the most adorable spring images. I had to fussy cut the images and if you know me, you know I hate fussy cutting. Thankfully they weren't too difficult to fussy cut. I sponged some walnut stain DOX ink around the edges of both images.
I mounted a floral frame using foam tape to add dimension and added some Prima Flowers and string bows to each of the cards.
If you look closely, you'll see that I added a paper doily in the color Swimming Pool from Doodlebug and some tea stained cheese cloth behind each focal point.
That added to the vintage / shabby look.
These cards are too bulky to be mailed but I think these kinds of cards are best when hand delivered anyway.
Here's a list of products I used:
I'll be adding one of these cards to the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Cut It Up Challenge ~ Colors of Spring
Alphabet Challenge ~ Vintage / Retro
The Card Concept ~ Spring Has Sprung
I was inspired by the title "Spring Has Sprung".
Thanks for stopping by!

If these cards have to be hand delivered, does that mean you're coming for a visit?!! These are both absolutely BEAUTIFUL Birgit, and whoever the luck recipients are, they're going to LOVE them! The papers you used are so pretty and the lamb and baby chicks ADORABLE! Sweet, sweet Easter cards my friend...you do vintage SO well!! Hugs. :0)
Oh, my goodness, my heart goes pitter pat! This is the sweetest paper which I don't have and now I wish I did, and your two cards are so absolutely beautiful! I love the shabby chic style and this vintage look. You do it so well!
These are beautiful! Perfect for Spring/Easter--can't believe it is so early this year. LOVE the pretty Designer Papers--you worked magic with them! The added florals and twine are the perfect accents.
Can we foresee some photos of your Easter decorations soon? Birgit, these sweet papers are so wonderful - and your baby animals are tucked in there so sweetly!
I agree with Marcia and hope you're planning on hand-delivering these to MIchigan!

There will be big smiles on the faces of the lucky recipients! These are both darling, but I'm in love with that sweet little lamb!
