Hello,
Today i have a quick card to share for CAS-ual Friday's weekly challenge. The challenge is to make a card featuring something you would find in an Easter basket.... well i did one step better, i used something from my actual Easter basket!! I'm in Michigan to see my mom and she gets us (me and my brother) a little Easter basket (or bucket for this year:) ). We get a little something each year even though we have been adults for many years now!! lol
For my card i used the pink plastic grass from my Easter bucket. I stamped and die cut a jar and used a tiny amount of blue water color to color the jar (though you can;t really tell in the photo's, it IS there !! :) ) Then i used some double sided tape and adhered some of the plastic grass to jar. Then i just rimed it up till i liked the length.
Next i hand cut some eggs from pattern paper. I inked the edges and added a few light dots. I adhered the eggs to the jar with pop up dots. If i were at home i would have used twine but my mom dosen;t have any, so i found this crinkly paper that can be used in baskets and such.
I stamped and cut out the label that has the sentiment Just for You. I punched a hole and threaded it through the crinkly paper, which i 'tied' around the top of the jar. Last i adhered the jar to the cardbase with pop up dots.
Thanks for stopping by!! I will be home latter this week and will have more cards to share!

Now that's clever! Love the idea of using the Easter 'grass' for another purpose! (And when I was home for Easter last year, my mom spoiled me too...it made me smile to hear that your mom does as well!)

Sch a novel idea
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect CAS card. And your brilliant use of the grass FROM your basket is so cute. So glad you played along with us at CAS-ual Fridays this week:)
