Hi peeps,
Today I would like to share another card I have made with my fabulous recent winnings from Uniko (see previous post about my win here) ... I decided to get going with a few Easter cards so I had a play with my new Spring Botanicals - Daffodil set.
This is such a lovely statement image and is quite big, so it doesn't really need much in the way of embellishment. I decided straight away I would surround it with some soft background stencilling, as I also have a new Lavinia stencil I couldn't wait to play with! I stamped my main image and coloured it with Promarkers, then masked it so I could stencil around it with some Distress Oxide ink. I stamped my greeting, then sponged more DO round the edges, and replaced the mask so I could add some spatters of DO and gold acrylic paint. When the spatters were dry I matted the finished panel, and finished off with sparkly punched butterflies and gems.
Media: Promarkers; Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink (Crushed Pistachio); gold acrylic paint;
Tools: Lavinia stencil - Leaf Trails; X-Cut butterfly punch;
Gems from my stash.

What a gorgeous spring card! Your daffodil is really great. Beautiful colouring. I especially love your frame as well. The rhinestones are some nice eye-catcher and those butterflies in your main colours just complete a perfect spring and Easter card.
Thanks a lot for entering the EAC challenge.
