Yesterday I cut out a lot of ovals which I used for a stencil for an Easter egg design. Well, I saved those ovals and today I created a little mini scene of the eggs nestled in the grass ready for the annual Easter Egg Hunt.
I took those die cut ovals from Cheery Lynn Designs and using a masking method added stripes of inks to them. Then I stamped the little cross image from Sparkle N Sprinkles Stamp Set 383 called Religious Sympathy on each one. I colored the cross in with a white gel pen and then added some Wink of Stella to provide a bit of shimmer.
The sentiment I used is also from Sparkle N Sprinkle and I think even though you cannot find it on her web site, if you asked for that certain sentiment I bet Margaret could find it for you. Just refer to my blog post so she can see the sentiment I used.
I used My Favorite Things Grassy Edges Die-namics die set for the grass and used two shades of green card stock. I finished the scene by sponging on some blue ink for the sky.
I am entering this in the Mod Squad Blog Challenge for this week in which the theme is Easter.
Well, this will be my last Easter card I do unless I decide to work on more for next year. I am enjoying using my new die cutting machine called the Crossover. I am so happy I purchased it.
Have a great day and thanks for your comments.

Well aren't you just so clever (and thrifty!) :) I love these eggs too, they are so pretty and this card is just as lovely as it's mate! Well done!
What a creative idea, that turned out this beautiful card.
Another beautiful Easter card, and I haven't made any as yet. You have inspired me and I better get going. So glad you like your new die cutting machine. Happy Easter to you.
Love your Easter eggs just waiting to be found. So cute and clever.
Love your garden of eggs. Love the stripes on the eggs.
Super ideal. Love being able to use both parts of the die cuts and these two cards did it perfectly and so spring like
Boy, you are really crankin' out the Easter cards. Well done. This one is really sweet with the eggs nestled in among the grass. Love it!

Verna, this is a beautiful Easter card. Don't you just love making Easter eggs. I am going to have my little, almost four year old, granddaughter over to make some Easter egg cut outs, and treat boxes. I can't wait. Thank you for the inspiration.
Really great card and so happy to see you have S&S stamps. Thank you so much for participating this week at the Mod Squad Challenge
