Distress inks

“Happy Easter” stamp by Savvy Stamps

Instructions: My goal with this piece was to use as many of the new papers from Gecko Galz as possible so I decided to do a paper-pieced Prima Doll showcasing several of the new papers. I used a combination of papers from the new Easter parade paper pack and the new flower power paper pack.  I stamped my Prima Doll stamp "Mindy" several times on the different papers.  And then I commenced a whole lot of cutting and gluing! I took some cardstock and cut it to make a card -- about the same size for a legal sized envelope.  I covered that cardstock with two of the gecko galz papers, then added a Gecko Galz Easter image from the Easter icons set.  The final step was stamping "happy Easter" on more of the Gecko Galz paper and adding that to the card.

Instructions: 

I started with selecting 2 PNG images from the easter icons set -- the bunny and the egg bursting open with flowers.  I arranged them digitally on one of the gorgeous background papers from the Easter Parade paper pack. I printed that out and adhered it to my card stock and added distressing, bright pink lace and some easter eggs and a chick at the bottom!
