Hello friends, Gemma here. Today I’m sharing a sweet Easter card, using the new Layered Eggs stencil set and Easter Circles stamp set.
I began with a panel of white card, cut to 6″ square. I taped the first layer of the Layered Eggs stencil set over the panel, then inked it with distress oxides. Although I didn’t use them on this card, I was inspired by the pretty pearl colours in the March release.

Distress oxide inks: Dried Marigold, Kitsch Flamingo, Shabby Shutters, Salvaged Patina, Shaded Lilac
I kept the inking on the first layer light, so I could use the same inks to add a heavier layer of colour with the second stencil in the set. This one adds the patterns to the eggs.
I cleaned the stencil, then repositioned it over my panel so I could add a layer of Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste. This is a clear glitter so will pick up the colour of the patterns underneath. Make sure to clean the stencil well after using any kind of paste. I then left the panel to dry overnight.

Copic Colors Used
Chick: Y00 Y11 Y13 Y15, YR14, R20 Egg: N0-1 Egg pattern: YR000 Y02 Y14, B60 B91 B93, Y00 Y13 Y15, BG000 BG11 BG13, RV00 R81 R83
Next, I stamped and coloured an image from the Easter Circles stamp set. The coordinating die for this set includes a pretty layer that also cuts a stitched circle slightly larger than the die for the images. I used this to cut a circle of satin gold mirror card to layer behind the image, and mounted the image on top with foam tape.

I’m enjoying making mini slimline cards at the moment, so I cut my stenciled panel down to 3.5″ wide x 5″ tall. The slightly shorter length allows space for a sentiment to be stamped on the card base. The sentiment is selectively stamped from two older stamp sets – Easter Bunnies and Simple Sentiments.
I adhered the panel to my card base, then added a Stitched Strip of the gold card along the joining edge. I then adhered the Easter Circles image to finish.
