Happy Easter

I felt like doing some foiling and Copic colouring today.
 
 
I love this 'easter tree' digi stamp from LOTV - my Sister-in-law has an 'easter egg tree' ornament that she puts on display each year - so that is who I am going to give this card to.
 
I printed digi stamp and the sentiment 'Happy Easter' using a font called 'Tinker Toy' with the Laser Printer. The sentiment was foiled in Gold and the digi stamp was foiled in Green.
 
I then coloured the image with some lovely pastel shades using my Copic Markers.
 
 
The cardfront was trimmed down to fit on a DL sized cardbase, and a final touch of bling added.
 
I really like the simplicity of this one - nice and easy to put in the mail too!
 
I have been inspired by quite a few challenges for this card.  
 
The As You Like It challenge asks us to nominate what is our fave - People or Animals.  I think it has to be Animals .... hands down!  They are such fun to colour in!

Several other challenges have Easter as the theme and these have influenced my colour choices.
