When I was playing with the egg dies that I used for my two previous cards, I thought about making wreath. I love wreaths in all kinds of forms, using all kinds of shapes and images. And that's what I did here. I actually created two cards with wreaths and in this blog post I am sharing the simpler one. For the wreath all you need is a small egg die and something for your focal point. I chose a bunny. While I do have a stamp with a bunny, for this card I decided to draw my own bunny. It's quite simple, I used a notebook and did my drawing. Then i transferred it onto a watercolour card stock and painted it with watercolours. The eggs I die-cut using backgrounds in different colours that I created with powder watercolours - Nuvo and Brusho. I had a few backgrounds left over, so I was using leftovers. You can use coloured card stock, pattern papers and so on. I die cut more eggs then I needed, altogether I needed thirty two. Originally I was going to adhere everything on top of a white card base, but then I remembered I had a background panel that I created for another card and never used. I blended the Shaded Lilac Distress Ink in the middle of the card stock and die-cut it with a stitched rectangular die. Before I started adhering the images on top of the panel, I used one of the bigger egg dies in the set to outline the shape onto the panel. Having the shape pre-drawn helped me to get the shape right when adhering the images. Last year I made an autumnal card with a circle wreath and it was a little bit off as I was eyeballing it. I didn't want to do the same mistake here. NOTE: Make sure you do not forget about placement of the greeting before you start attaching the images. I forgot, but luckily I had a small sentiment stamp and was able to squeeze it in. I first adhered the bunny in the middle of the pre-drawn egg using a double-sided tape. Then I adhered the eggs. I used small double-sided foam squares and I was placing the eggs so they are slightly overlapping each other. After all the eggs were adhered I attached the greeting bellow the bunny. This was a banner that says Happy Easter. To finish up the look, I took out a glitter pen and went over all the images. I just wanted to add a little bit of sparkle to the card. Lastly I adhered the panel on top of a white card base using a liquid glue. I hope you will try making this card yourself. Make sure you check out my video on YouTube and give it a Like as well.
