Echo Park patterned papers – Springtime collection
The “floral fun” and “whimsy scallops” papers contain 4 patterns on 1 12x12 sheet, printed at a 25% reduction. I cut each pattern to 4.25” x 5.5”
Quickcutz label die
Spellbinders Nestabilities scallop circle die
Spellbinders Nestabilities circle die
Fiskers scallop edge punch
Teal and pink twine

Teal felt looped ribbon
Copic Markers: RV09, V15, BG15, G82, Y15 (For coloring text inside card)
Adhesive (I use a scotch advance tape gun)
Pop dots

Before I cut the white card stock to size (originally 8.5”x11”) I ran it through my ink jet printer and printed “Happy Easter” on the inside of the card. See more info below about the font used. The eggs I cut by hand, I used a template I printed off of the internet and traced around it. The eggs and scallop circles are pop doted.
