AYSI81 and FF 61 for Easter

Happy Saturday, everyone!  We have a busy day—we are headed to the circus in Baltimore!  So I made a few last-minute Easter cards yesterday for my small group members using the As You See It sketch for this week:

as well as the colors from the Fab Friday challenge:

I recently found a lovely blog called The Paper Caper, and Jess had a tutorial for making a little diecut cross using the Little Letters dies.  You can see it here.  I used her idea, but I used the smaller Chalk Talk die and backed the cross with SU’s Gold Foil:

I made five of these, using pastel shades for the die and flowers; I used images from Kinda Eclectic, Summer Silhouettes, Bordering Blooms and some of them had Gorgeous Grunge as well.

I did some heat embossing in gold, using the Easter sentiment from the retired set, Delightful Dozen:

I used the sunburst from Kinda Eclectic on the inside as well, along with a sentiment from God Bless II:

We did some egg-dying on Thursday, but first she had to peel one of the cracked ones:

and of course, she had to try to dye her peeled egg as well, LOL!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for our next Paper Players challenge!
