Can you believe it is 3 days until Easter.  I remember Easter as a child.  It was always so much fun.  My Granny always made me a new dress.  You always got a new dress and shoes for Easter.  Usually, white patten leather, do they even make those any more?  Everyone dressed up in their finest clothes to go to church on Easter morning,  now people wear whatever.  Guess I am guilty of that also.

My design for today is from this week’s Just Us Girls challenge.  This is Photo Week #433 Challenge.

This is directions for you to make the card. Start with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock. 

Add a mat cut from Tranquil Tide cardstock and emboss with the Basket Weaver TEIF.  Cut a 4×4 mat from Melon Mambo cardstock for the art piece.  Using the Flying Home Stamp set and Memento Basic Black Ink stamp the art piece on  Whisper White cardstock cut 3-3/4 x 3-3/4.

Color the art piece using Soft Sky, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight Stampin Write Markers and a Blender Pen.  Wind three strands of Linen Thread around the art piece securing the thread with a glue dot on the back of the art piece. Make a tiny bow using the Linen Thread and adhere it to the art piece just under the birdhouse.  Adhere this to the Melon Mambo mat and pop it on the Tranquil Tide mat.

The happy birthday is from the Teeny Tiny Expression Stamp Set, stamped in Tranquil Tide on a scrap of paper and then punched out using a small paper punch for greetings.  Use the die from the Petal Palette Stamp Set Bundle to die cut the embellishment piece for the happy birthday.

The inside sentiment is from the Balloon Adventure Stamp Set.  The artwork is from the Flying Home Stamp Set. Cut a mat 4 x 5 using Tranquil Tide cardstock.  Adhere this to the card base using liquid glue.  Stamp the sentiment using a Tranquil Tide  Classic Stampin Pad for the ink.  Color the artwork using Soft Sky, Melon Mambo, and Old Olive  Stampin Write Markers and a Blender Pen.  Adhere this to the Tranquil Tide mat.

That’s it! Finished.

Hope you enjoy making it as much as I did!
