A Good Egg

Good Morning Stampers!

I don't know how I missed this stamp set last year but I think it's one of the cutest ones in the book.  I love the sentiment "you crack me up!".  And when you use it in the soft pastels, it's the perfect Easter card.

 The stamped the chick image 3 times on Whisper White card stock and the colored them with Barely Banana Stampin' Write Marker.  The eggs were colored in Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery Stampin' Write Markers to match the colors in the Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper.

After coloring in the eggs, I added Tombow Multi Purpose Liquid Glue, spread it with my fingers and then added Dazzling Diamonds.  I didn't worry about going outside the lines since I would be cutting the images out.  
Rachel's Tip:  Before cutting out any tiny pieces such as the legs or the feathers on the top of the chick, I always add scotch tape to the back to stabilize the card stock.

The two strips of pattern paper on the bottom portion of the card are from the Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  They were punched with the eyelet border punch to give interest to the lower part of the card.
