Background Preparation:

I started by coloring the background for the "Happy Easter Word Die" sentiment using Paper Splatter - Opaque Pale Lavender. To achieve a solid, vibrant color, I applied multiple layers and allowed the ink to dry thoroughly.

Stencil Blending:

Using the Scene Building A2 Stencil Set: Layers of Adventures, I created a soft grassy meadow and sky background with Distress Oxide Inks and Life Changing Blender Brushes. This added depth and set the stage for the shaker element.

Creating the Shaker Frame:

• I die-cut the shadow layer of the Happy Easter Word Die from the stenciled background.
• Next, I adhered acetate to the back of the panel and lined up and glued the die cut piece with the card base to ensure perfect alignment.
• To create a well for the shaker pieces, I used foam tape around the opening, leaving enough space to add the Sequin Mix Plus - Easter Bop.
• After placing the shaker bits in the center of the card base, I carefully aligned and adhered the front panel over it. Pro Tip: Adding a little glue to the foam tape allows some wiggle room to perfect the alignment.

Adding the Sentiment:

• I die-cut the "Happy Easter Word Die" sentiment three times—twice in white cardstock for stacking and once with the lavender layer for the top.
• Using a paintbrush, I applied a thin layer of glue across the middle-to-top portion of the letters and sprinkled Prisma Glitter for a fine sparkle.
• For the bottom portion, I repeated the process with chunky glitter to create a beautiful ombré effect.
• Finally, I adhered the glittered sentiment to the acetate opening.

Adding the Bunnies:
The cute bunnies from the Follow that Bunny Stamp Set were stamped with Picket Fence Studio Black Hybrid Ink, colored with Copic markers, and die-cut using the Follow that Bunny Coordinating Die Set. I arranged them around the shaker frame to complete the playful Easter scene.

Inside of the Card:

• I stamped a sentiment from the Follow that Bunny Stamp Set with black ink: “Sending You an Easter Hello.”
• To complement the sentiment, I added a bunny holding a balloon and used Pint Sized Paper Pouncers to color the butterflies from the Scene Building A2 Stencil Set for an extra pop of color and whimsy. To the butterflies I added a few details using a fine tip black pen.

Finishing Touches:

• I added highlights with a white gel pen to the bunnies and elements for dimension.

This Easter card is packed with cuteness, sparkle, and a touch of springtime joy. The combination of Picket Fence Studios’ stamps, dies, and stencils makes creating a cohesive and professional-looking card effortless.
