Crafty Cardmakers challenge 65 - Easter.

Evening Everyone
Well as I expected it has been far less frantic at work today. 
Not only are people not panic buying fuel but of course the school holidays have started so that always makes a difference to the traffic.
Today sees the start of the new challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers. 
The host this time is Doreen who would like to see your Easter creations. Cards, Scrap LOs, Altered Art, Bookmarks, Tags, whatever you fancy as long as it has an Easter theme. 
We are sponsored for this challenge once again by Digi Doodle Shop who are offering a $10 Gift Certificate for the store

We are also delighted to be sponsored by Hobby Art with two gorgeous stamps sets as their prize.
We would like to thank them for coming to our rescue at the last minute.

I don't usually make Easter cards so this was a good challenge for me.
I bought this lovely Magnolia Spring Background stamp at SirStampalot some time ago with the intention of covering up the chick. However I felt that it worked perfectly for this challenge.

I stamped and embossed the image onto watercolour card and coloured it using distress inks. After it was dry I cut it out and layered it onto a brayered background created 'Barbara style'.

The background papers are from my stash, although they were all purchased at SirStampalot.
I added some stitching with a fine black pen as well as a punched border across the middle of the card.
The flower is a DooHickey and the leaves are Cherry Lynn dies.
Of course I had to add a little bling, the punched border just screams out for it don't you think lol.
Please stop by the challenge and see what the other girls have come up with, and maybe have a go yourself.
