Are you in the mood for spring Crafting?  Then this project is for you.  Today I’m sharing how to make this adorable Easter Egg-Shaped card that actually stands up on its own – no special base, no complicated folds required.  I’ll walk you through how to create the egg shape, blend this bright rainbow background, and use one simple die to turn it into a free-standing card.

I was playing with some of the new Easter dies from the Simon Says Stamp “In My Heart Release, and this design just came together.  It’s such a fun project–I can’t stop making them, especially those colorful rainbow eggs!

Ink Blending with Soft Spring Colors

For the ink blending I used Distress Oxide Inks in a mix of soft spring colors to create a bright, blended rainbow effect.

• Kitsch Flamingo
• Salvaged Patina
• Carved Pumpkin
• Mustard Seed
• Twisted Citron

Create the Non-rolling Egg Shaped Card:

By adding the Garden Fence die cut along the bottom of the egg-shaped card it not only enhances the Easter scene but also stabilizes the design so the card stands up without rolling.  It’s a quick and easy step that makes a big impact on the finished card.
