Happy Easter 2018!

First and foremost, I want to wish everyone a happy, blessed, and healthy Easter!  It's a little cloudy here today, so I thought it might be nice to share a very Spring-like Easter card I made.

For this card, I used the new Easter Animals stamp set.  I embossed the chicks in black then used my ink pads and a blending pen to color them.  The bonus is that by doing this, I can match my paper!  Using the Gimme Some Sugar Paper Packet as my paper and palette for the card, I thought the White Burlap Ribbon would coordinate very nicely, especially from a textural perspective. The Cricut Artbooking cartridge came in handy to cut multiple versions of the "Happy" portion of the sentiment such that I could cut them in the size I wanted.  Using the Gold Shimmer Brush added a perfect pop of sparkle!  I masked off a portion of one of the sentiments with the word "Easter", embossed it in black, then popped it off the card.  My Marigold Shinhan Marker was used to color the Clear Sparkles in the corner to match the card perfectly and give it just the right finishing touch!

Here is a look at the overall card:
