Happy Easter!!! I absolutely love Easter. Such a beautiful reminder of how blessed we are. It also seems to kick off the gardening season in my region. I get to spruce up all the flower containers and clean up the yard to ready it for the great egg hunt. I was inspired to create this Easter banner to add to the decorations in the house.

I cut each banner shape with the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. Alternating between this traditional banner shape and a pennant, I cut each piece at 8″ long. The easter eggs are from a retired stamp set as well as the word ‘happy’. The butterfly is from the April stamp of the month “Love So Sweet”. I layered up patterned papers and stamped images, then topped it off with adhesive sequins to add some sparkle and a bit of ribbon colored with our Sugar Plum shimmer brush.

Check out the YouTube tutorial below for more details!

I love this lace doily! After cutting it from White Daisy card stock, I sponged on ink to achieve this effect. The Easter sentiment was fussy cut from a stamped imaged originally intended as one stamp. I repeated the butterfly throughout most of the banner to unite the pieces together.

On the panels above and below I created these beautiful rosettes using a couple different methods. Check out the you tube video to see how I put these flowers together. The butterflies were stamped in Lagoon ink using first and second generation stamping to get the varied shades of color.

Thanks for stopping by. Leave me a comment to share your thoughts and have a Happy Easter!
