Easter Basket by Jenny Alia

Hi Cheery Lynn fans, it's Jenny here today wishing you a Happy Easter! This card was centered around this fun Easter Basket. I cut out the Easter Basket twice and colored the first one. Using as scissor I cut the eggs and bow off the second basket, colored them individually using distress ink and the glued them on top of the first basket. To further embellish the eggs I added glitter glue. The basket is popped up with foam adhesive. I like how the glitter glue made some of the ink run and the eggs look as though they'd really been colored with dye.

This is a step card using the Step Card Bundle Set #3. You can see a video HERE explaining how the step card die works. I glued rectangular strips of green card stock to each of the steps before adhering grass to each. The shorter Grass Border 2 was glued to the first two "steps" and the Grass Border on the two background steps.

I cut a top fold A2 size card with the step die and then used the main die in the Step Card set to cut a piece of dotted patterned paper. It was easy to then fold the paper and cut away the bottom portion of the dotted paper with an Exacto knife. The background panel was made with a piece of patterned card stock with a Lattice #2 overlay.
