Here I am finally casing the very, very sweet and TALENTED Pat Smethers... I am so happy for you to have been chosen as queen for the day... I hope you are enjoying your time in the spotlight sweet Patty cakes.... I chose to case this beautiful card Tea for Lindsay
My card does not even do Pats beautiful card justice - but I had to try. I dug through my stash of fabric and chose this pretty tiny flower print. I decided to use this cute Little Easter House Mouse image - I don't have the same adorable HM image Pat used. My pinking shears are old and dull so I just cut my fabric with regular scissors. Sewed the fabric onto barely banana c/s. Coloured image with prismacolour pencil crayons and gamsol. Clear embossed the egg. Cut out image with oval nestability. Matted image with bubblegum card stock. Image is popped up. Cut out the little eggs and chick for dp and placed some Easter basket grass behind chick/eggs. I finished the inside. Cut a two inch strip of pink card stock, used large scalloped border punch on upper edge. Cut strip of fabric and sewed it on top of pink panel. Cut a 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 square of Barely banana c/s and place pink/fabric panel at bottom. Sewed around edges. Stamped a small image of Easter basket full of eggs above right hand scalloped edge - coloured with markers. Stamped "Happy Easter" inside. Card is complete and ready to send...
This also qualifies for House Mouse and Friends challenge this week - Easter theme and for SCS fan club theme - All creatures great and small
