A sure sign of Spring is Easter, and with Easter only a week away, I decided that a fun Easter card was the perfect way to end this month's challenge.
Here's my hint of Spring, Easter style:
You can't make an Easter card without glitter! The Dreamweaver Easter egg stencil (LG685) is perfect for the beautiful Double-glitter Technique. The stencil is actually egg-shaped, so you get a nice "frame" of glitter too. Here's how you do it:
 |
| Easter egg stencil - LG685 Double-glitter technique |
- Cut a piece of Dreamweaver Double-sided mounting paper (MPDS) a little larger than the stencil
- Cut a piece of colorful cardstock an 1/8" each direction larger than the MPDS
- Remove the release paper from one side of the MPDS and center it on the cardstock
- Place the stencil face down on a paper towel and gently rub the back with Dreamweaver Handmade Hawaiian Soap (DHHS) making sure to go over all the back
- Use a large stencil brush to brush away any flakes of soap from the openings
- Remove the top piece of release paper from the MPDS and place the stencil, soap side down, on the sticky surface
- Use a piece of release paper to press the stencil firmly on the sticky paper
- I used Stampendous fran-tage micro glitters (Lavender, Orange, Pink and Teal) to "color" my egg
- To remove the stencil, turn the glittered image face down on a clean surface and gently peel the paper off the stencil, making sure to keep the stencil flat on the surface
- Sprinkle the exposed sticky paper with Crystal micro glitter to finish off the design
- Mount on a cute paper, add a pretty bow, and you've got a great Easter card!
When I first finished the card it didn't have the bow and looked like this:
Pretty, but I felt like it needed a little something, hence, the bow. Which do you like? Also, after I finished glittering, I decided to add a second layer to the flowers because I had gotten a little Teal glitter in the pink flowers. I like the dimension the additional layer gives.

What a great technique, such a pretty card!
Wow! Love your card! Really puts me in the Spring mood! TYFS!
Gorgeous card, perfect for spring and Easter - love the colours and the texture you achieved. Thank you for the blog hop and awesome inspirations Karen
Love this Double glitter technique! As to the bow, I think it looks more like an egg without it, but then the card needs something more. I would use a sentiment, simply black on white, at the bottom of the card on the red gingham.
Love your card and must try your technique. Gorgeous colors for Easter. Thx for sharing your creativity.
Ok, GORGEOUS Easter egg but going to have to watch a Youtube video before I understand everything about the soap. LOVE the effect for sure!!
Oh so pretty! Love all the glitter and the flowers.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE this sparkaliscious card! I think the bow is a perfect finishing touch and I love the double layer of flowers! It adds a lot to the card! TFS!

Very cute Springy card. Thank you for sharing your technique with the glitter.
What a yummy Easter egg! Love the tulle and gingham, and all that glitter!
It's lovely but I do prefer it without the bow, I personally think it detracts from all the glittery loveliness.
This card is so country cottage chic! Love how your colors work so well together and end up at SPRING!
Loving the sparkle!
LOVE the Eastery colors and all the gorgeous sparkliness!!
