Hi everyone!
The weather has been absolutely glorious this week! We have azaleas, irises, and lots of other beautiful blooms showing their gorgeous colors in our neighborhood, so it was really easy to get into a Springy, Easter mood for today's project.
Although it looks like a conventional fold, this card is made from a full sheet of card stock scored horizontally and vertically with the top left corner removed, which creates an extra flap and more space to decorate on the inside. I cut a window through the outermost section for this darling bunny to peek through. (I trimmed just a little off the bottom of the bunny for ease of opening/closing the card.)
When the front is opened it reveals this "cracked egg shell" designer paper (probably actually parched earth, but y'know!) with a sweet sentiment. Maybe your family "pocked" eggs...a Cajun Easter tradition...so you get where I'm comin' from! Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday are next week, so the season of Lent is truly almost upon us!
And here's the very innermost fold of the card. I love this simple rustic cross and traditional Easter sentiment. I kept everything inside really simple with some sunrise stenciling using distress inks.
I know this is most oft said about Christmas, but it applies here as well! Jesus is the Reason for the Season!
