Watercolor Easter Eggs

Hello friends, Angelica here with a card showcasing the new Easter eggs stamp set and Easter Eggs coordinating die.

I stamped the eggs onto Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with embossing ink. I then heat embossed using gold embossing powder. I used Zig Clean Color watercolor brushes to color the eggs. I pulled random colors and added color to the edges, then used a #4 round watercolor brush and clean water to move the color. I used the coordinating die to cut the eggs out when I was finished.

To assemble the card, I cut a panel of white card stock and blended Broken China Distress Oxide ink onto it. Then I splatter shimmer water onto the panel, let it sit for a few seconds, then dabbed the water up with a paper towel. While the panel was drying, I used the curved scallop die from the Scallop Borders Die Set to die cut plaid pattern paper and green card stock. I glued the papers together, and added a strip of foam adhesive to the backside bottom. I added thin adhesive squares to the backs of the eggs. I stamped and heat embossed Happy Easter on the panel after it was dry, then trimmed it to 4 x 5.25. I added it to an A2 size card base, then added the border and eggs. To finish the card, I trimmed the outside eggs to fit the card base.
