Spring Into Card Making IG Hop - Week 3

Hello my lovely friends; I hope you've had a wonderful day so far.  It's Week 3 of the Spring Into Card Making IG Hop organised by my lovely friend Kelly and this time we are all about spring.  Each week we will be sharing a themed card focusing on the joys of spring.  If our hop inspires you please use the hashtag #2024springintocardmakinghop to join in the fun.  

This week we are making Easter or spring creations and as Easter is almost here I decided to make one more Easter card.  I used an older (but new to me) stamp.  Here is my card:

A close up of the cute image:

I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a panel of alcohol marker friendly card to 3 3/4" x 5" and stamped the image towards the left of centre and coloured it with Promarkers (I also stamped a mask to use later).   After colouring the image I placed the mask overtop and lightly inked all around with a sea glass ink pad to give a slight halo effect to the image.  I then stamped the sentiment to the left of the image in black ink.  I cut a panel of kraft card slightly larger than my white panel and adhered them with double sided tape.  I then added this onto my card base with foam tape.  For the inside I cut the exact same panels as the front, stamped a sentiment in the centre with black ink and lightly ink blended the same sea glass ink around the edges.  I decided to stamp just the little eggs from the image into the left bottom corner three times and coloured them with Promarkers.  The panels were again adhered together with double sided tape and added to the card base with double sided tape also.  I finished with some white highlights using a gel pen and my card was complete.
