Dia dhuit, everyone!
I've realised my Easter card collection is eggs-clusively (sorry) aimed at the fluffy-bunny-and-chicks fan club. Which is great… unless you’re trying to make a card for the men in your life who might raise an eyebrow at a pastel parade of tiny animals in waistcoats.

So, I decided to keep it simple and slightly more man-friendly with the ‘Osterhängerchen’ stamp set from - ready to bring the festive cheer without the frills. Stamped with Memento ink and coloured with Promarkers. I love looove looooove how versatile this stamp set is. Next step? Investing in the matching dies, because cutting out fiddly little egg shapes is not how I want to spend my Sundays ;) For the sentiment, I went full die-cut diva—layered, glossy-accented (Ranger’s, obvs), and looking sharp. The enamel dots? Totally planned. Definitely not because I got distracted by something shiny. Again.

Sláinte!

I love your cute Easter card, Wendy! Love that your die-cut sentiment is white on white too...so cool! Thanks for sharing with us at Try a Sketch on Tuesday!
Oh, this is so cute, Wendy! Great coloring, and the white-on-white sentiment is perfect. Thank you for sharing with us at TSOT.
Excellent bundling of challenge themes!! For HQCOLCB's optional event Easter Sunday theme, doing a masculine CAS version is unique and effective! The analogous color scheme adds interest without going too feminine. The string loops for the eggs look like bunny ears!!!! Did you realize that? You've made a terrific Easter card! Thanks for sharing at HQCOLCB! -- Becca
