Pastel Easter Egg

Hi friends! Christina here to share this pretty Easter card featuring a fun inlay technique using the new Decorative Easter Egg die set. You can use the Decorative Easter Egg in so many ways, even creating a shaker, but I love the inlay technique, and it’s so easy. The hardest part is choosing the cardstock colors! Take a peek at the supplies I used, and then we’ll get started!

Decorative Easter Egg Dies
Banner Greetings 3 Dies
Easter Banner Greetings Stamp Set
Argyle Pierced Plate
Scallop Frames Dies

My first step was to choose my cardstock colors. I decided on a traditional pastel color palette to complement the spring and Easter icons that make up the Decorative Easter Egg. Then I die-cut the Decorative Egg and the backer piece from white cardstock and glued these together to be the base. Next I die-cut the Decorative Egg once from each of the cardstock colors I choose and began inlaying the icon pieces onto the white base. For some decorative details, I decided to trim the carrots and add green tops, give the larger flowers round centers, and add small round tails to the bunnies. You can skip this step, but I like the addition of these small embellishments. 

With the Decorative Easter Egg complete, I got to work on the background. First, I die-cut the Argyle Pierced Plate from Tidepool cardstock and added a white scallop frame. This provided me with the perfect framed space for the egg. The last step was to add a banner sentiment that I heat-embossed with white embossing powder on a new Banner Greetings 3 die.

Thank you for checking out this Easter card featuring an inlay technique using the new Decorative Easter Egg die set from the newest spring collection. See you again soon!
