Easter Blessings

Hi everyone! It's me Tonya and since Easter is right around the corner I wanted to share a card I created using the past Mailbox Muse Magical Gypsy Bazaar Kit and Kunze German Scraps. I have never had the opportunity to use the German foil before but let me say this I love it!

I started by cutting and folding an embossed piece of green polka dot Bazzill cardstock to create a 5" x 5 1/2" cardbase. Ink the edges of the 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" light green polka dot cardstock and adhere off center of the base along with the german foil white medallion.

I cut a 1 3/4" x 5 1/2" stripe of patterned cardstock and center and adhere along with the an pink piece of cardstock cut slightly larger than the gold german foil and adhere to the top of the card base.

I fussy cut the bunny from the Fresh Springtime printable, added a little Star Dust Stickles to the egg and adhered to the card along with the sentiment that I printed from the computer.

I finished the card off with punched out flowers, Easter Dew Drops and Star Dust Stickles and a mini egg and thread from my own personal stash.

There is even more supplies in the Mailbox Muse kits than you can imagine. Tons of cardstock, stamp set, embellishments, images and best part of all you can sign up for a membership and get it at a discounted price. So be sure to check past kits and while you are there sign up. Also be sure to check Kunze German Foil website for a wonderful assortment of German Foil.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your day is wonderful and enjoy creating!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
