Spring In My Step

Hello readers! Today I am sharing a slimline card featuring one of my favorite Easter themed stamp sets called "Cottontail Cuties" by Neat and Tangled.  Unfortunately earlier this month, Danielle, the owner of Neat and Tangled announced she was closing the store, so you can no longer find this stamp set on the company website.  With any luck, you might be able to score it on eBay (for crazy astronomical prices), but I'm going to be sure I hang onto it for a very long time!  

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies can be located at the end of this post.

This slimline card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2".  Slimline cards are designed to fit inside a regular #10 business sized envelope and require no additional postage.  The base of this card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  Using the Slimline Frames and Portholes die set, I die cut the scalloped frame from white cardstock.  I ink blended a background using Picked Raspberry and Dusty Concord Distress Oxide inks.  I placed this background behind the white scalloped frame.  I stamped the images from the "Cottontail Cuties" stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with Copic markers. 

I adhered the colored images to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  I stamped the sentiment "You put a" and "spring in my step" in purple ink on thin strips of white cardstock.  I die cut the word "spring" from both purple glitter paper and white cardstock.  I layered the two dies together using Lawn Fawn glue and adhered the sentiments to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a coat of clear Wink of Stella to the images for added sparkle. 

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

XO, Crystal
