Ombré Easter Wishes with Lawn Fawn

Morning all!

I'm back with another Spring-themed project, this time featuring a few items from Lawn Fawn's latest release.

I had grand plans to use the new Easter Egg Backdrop die as intended, piecing in the different shapes behind the apertures in this wonderful frame.

But when I was placing my die-cut panel over different pieces of patterned paper in the Rainbow Ever After 6x6 pad, to choose some Easter egg patterns, I absolutely loved how the pale pink frame I'd cut looked against the warm-toned ombré paper. It was just a perfect pairing.

So I decided for this card, I was going to keep things simple and let that ombré background do all the work.

But first, I needed to choose a sentiment for the centre.

I cut the new Scripty Easter Outline die from the same shade of pale pink cardstock as the frame and the Scripty Easter die from Concord & 9th Matt Gold cardstock.

Before assembling anything, I needed to find a "Happy" sentiment in my stash that would be a great fit for the space inside the frame and would complement the scripty font.

Enter the Big Birthday Wishes stamp set from MFT. I've had this wonderful set for years. It was originally retired, but has been re-released from the Vault and is still available. It includes some very handy sentiments, a lovely mix of fonts, plus a stand-alone "Happy" in a solid font - just what I was looking for!

So now that I had all the separate elements for this card, I positioned them in my Misti so that I could line up the stamp where I needed it on the ombré paper and then heat-embossed the Happy in sparkly gold embossing powder.

Then it was time to assemble all the elements on my cardbase, using thin strips of foam tape to add dimension to the frame.

It's such a simple look, but I love the pops of colour peeking out through the frame.

Next time I use the Easter Egg Backdrop, I definitely want to piece some pretty patterned paper behind the eggs and flowers... but that's for another day!

Until next time, happy crafting!
