Spring Theme Week- Day 7

**All items in the Spring section are 15% off during theme week**

Hi crafty friends. It’s Leica here closing out Spring Theme Week with a super adorable Easter card. There is no coloring involved with a marker – that’s always a plus in my book. Hehe!

I started by inking through the Layered Carrots Stencil directly onto an A2-sized white cardbase. I used Dried Marigold, Mowed Lawn, and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks. To soften the background, I added a sheet of vellum on top and then glued a frame that I cut from the Fancy Cake Dies. The frame is ink blended with Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink and sprayed with water for an oxidized effect.

Next, I cut the mug from the Winter Mug Dies and ink blended it with Milled Lavender and a bit of Wilted Violet on the sides. I also cut the hot cocoa part in white cardstock and colored it with Copic E25/23/21. I then cut an opening in the center of the mug to make a shaker. The shaker bits are small eggs that I cut from the new Easter Mug Additions Dies. I colored the eggs with Copic BG70, R00, R20, V00, YG00, and YR000. I stamped the sentiment onto the acetate of the shaker before adding the shaker bits and sealing it. 

I then cut the carrot from the Easter Mug Additions Dies in white cardstock and colored it with Copic YR16/15/14, YG67/63/61. I tucked the carrot in the mug and foam mounted it onto the vellum. Lastly, I added some Creamsicle Pearls as embellishment for my card. 

That’s all for my card with a cute little shaker mug. I hope that I’ve inspired you to create one. Thanks for stopping by!
