Vintage Easter Cards by Jami Steiger


 

My goodness, it's already my turn for Watercolor Weekend! We've made a few updates with Art Impressions, and now I will post cards twice a month for WC Weekend, plus a card at the end of the month for a monthly Challenge. The new changes are definitely keeping me busy, but it is also a lot of fun creating new cards.

I have been watching Bridgerton on Netflix and love the show's vintage style, so when I made my cards this month, I thought the 5116-Basket of Blessings Set would be perfect. 

I started by stamping the rabbit with Archival Ground Espresso. I used the following Tombow markers to paint: 992, 977, 528, 312, 817, 772, 969, N75, 177, 025, and 933. To paint the buttons on his jacket, I used a Signo Pigment Ink Gel Pen in gold. To die-cut the rabbit, I used the lacy rectangle from 5804-Decorative Belly Bands, and the small decorative die-cut in the upper left corner came from 5591-Journal Rectangle Frames Die. Next, I used the 5724-Nested Rectangle Dies to cut a pale blue mat. The decorative paper for the card base came from 6036-Easter Bunny PP. Before I assembled the card, I used Simon Hurley's die ink pad in Grrr!, which is a very light beige, and a small dauber to antique the edges of all the elements. To complete the design, I added a small paper doily, a vintage button, and a piece of vintage flower lace.
