Hello Ai fans!
Today I am working on a couple Easter cards. I wanted to use my Mini Bunny Spinner Set. I picked it up a while ago but I wanted to wait until closer to Easter to use it. Well ... it is getting closer to Easter, so what better time than now.
I knew I wanted to try and add three circles, but I also knew that I am not good at lining this up so I figured I would stagger the circles in case there were boo boo's. The circles were from the Circle Double Stitched Dies. I really like how they turned out.
As you can see I die cut from both my card base and my pattern paper so they would line up once adhered together. What I like to do when adding my thread I glue the thread to the inside of one image and then attach the matching image to the other. From there I use double sided tape and place on both ends of the circle to attach my thread to, as you can see above. From there I add glue all over and around the thread so I know it will be secure once all put together. Another trick I like to do is tape my card base down where the fold is so there is no reason for any slack with the thread.
I finish it off by adding my card front to the panel. Not hard at all, right?? And from here I decorate my card with all of the finishing touches. As you will see below I added some purple card stock to my image. I stamped the sentiment "Happy Easter" from the Sweet Easter Set.
I thought it looked to plain with just the white strip with the sentiment on it so I Added some more purple to it. I cut a very thin strip of purple, centered it ant framed out the phrase. Don't you agree it adds to the sentiment?
Here they are side by side again. Happy Wednesday everyone!
Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!

'I made two so I could send them to my Mom and my Mother in Law. I can't tell if I like the one that is more pink or the one that has more blue in it. Which one do you like better? I know they are both the "same" but sometimes the shades of color matter ... I think I am going with the more blue card! You?
Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!
