Patchwork Easter Card


Welcome to Glenda's Cards

I am playing along with the fun sketch challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. I decided to make an Easter card so I can play along with a few more fun challenges!
The card is 5" x 5" white cardstock and layered with a 4 3/4" square of lavender paper. The nine little squares are cut at 1 1/2". Easter papers are from a friend and other papers are left over from previous projects. This is a good sketch for using small pieces of paper. The fun is laying out the patchwork design! The ribbon is interwoven on the squares for a bit more color and design.

Cricut Cartridge:
Easter 2010 - Egg and shadow are cut at 2 1/2".

Other supplies:
Easter dimensional sticker is from a Walmart pack of handmade stickers. This has been in my stash for a year-maybe two. I thought the sticker would work well with the different colors in my card.
Ribbon is American Crafts - another after Easter clearance!
Paper Studio pearls
Egg is pop-dotted. Versa Magic inking.

Challenges:
Die Cuttin' Divas - Ch. 59 Sketch
Cooking With Cricut - Ch. 80 Easter theme
FCCB - Ch. 105 Egg
My Craft Spot - Ch 50 Easter
Simply Create Too - Ch 10 - Eggs &/or Bunnies ends 4/12
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Celebrating Easter
