It was great fun making my first Easter card of the year! I must apologize if the white appears a little too blinding in the photo. The sun is a welcome sight coming through my craft room window so I'll not complain. The colors are actually true, and there is a lot of white, and I'm really happy with the cuteness factor of the card.
All the dies are Cottage Cutz. The embossing folder is Spellbinders. I thought at first the embossed pattern might be too big for the petite image, but in the end I love it. I'm hopelessly addicted to 3D embossing folders and happy to have this one from a past Warehouse Sale making its debut today, fresh from the NBUS basket.
I will share in Darnell's NBUS Challenge #84 with my never before used Spellbinders Stylized Floral 3D embossing folder.
I hope you can find time to play along with our Easter/Church/Cross theme at Double D. The team has some awesome inspiration for you!
It was so nice of you to stop by. Take care and enjoy your day!

Your card is just as cute as can be! That little peep popping out of its egg is just in time to celebrate this Holy season. I love all the wonderful texture on this beautiful spring card.
I am loving the bright white, so clean and appealing! The little chick is adorably cute, one I don't have and the embossing folder, WOW, it all works so beautifully together!!
PS: I too have an addiction to the 3D folders (and the SB warehouse sales)!!
WOW, can’t believe Easter is around the corner already… cute card. Have a great day
OMG this is just ADORABLE! Love that little chickie! I too am hopelessly addicted to 3D EFs and you've really made this one shine! Beautiful background for your happy foreground scene! LOVE IT!!
OH! And your photo staging is just precious! You are so so creative! Brought a huge smile to my face!! Thanks
Gorgeous texture! Love that sweet peep freshly sprung--he is adorable! Fab die cut sentiment too! Happy Spring (she whispered hopefully!)
Awwwwww...your little hatching chick is ADORABLE Leslie and I love, LOVE your 3D embossed background too! Colorful and bright and just a perfect way to say Happy Easter!! Hugs. :0)
So beautiful. Love the cute chickie image and that's a great embossing folder. Great how it all comes together.
All that gorgeous white embossing could NEVER be too much, Leslie! To me it's just right as the backdrop to this sweet little freshly hatched chick! Gosh do I wish I had a bowl-full of those gorgeous eggs!

What an adorable card for easter! I love everything about it from the embossing folder to the cute baby chicks breaking out of their eggs to the flowers. Enjoy the sun. I'm anxiously awaiting mine to return.
Such a fabulous card Leslie. The embossing is a great backdrop to your cute hatchling..
Gorgeous Easter card, love the cute chick and beautiful embossed background. We have actually had three days of sun and no washer as it broke last week and new one not delivered until tomorrow.

This couldn’t be any cuter! Love the cute chick with the large happy Easter sentiment die. I agree that the embossing folder matches perfectly. I love the contrast. Cute cute cute!
This is the sweetest Easter card, Leslie! I LOVE the elegance and brightness of the deep embossing and large sentiment. The cute chick is adorable and looks so happy to have popped out of the pretty-patterned egg.
What a fun Easter card, Leslie! I love the 3D embossing folders too and use them for most of my cards! This one is a favorite of mine and it looks great with this sweet chick coming out of the fabulous egg! So fun!
I'm loving the bright crisp white, Leslie! Almost as much as I love that sweet little chick popping out of that pretty little egg! This is just delightful!
Oh my goodness that chick is just the cutest, I love the little legs coming out of the egg, cute pattern paper you used for it. The embossing folder is gorgeous too, and I like the big Easter sentiment with the tiny flowers, so sweet!
so cute and very beautiful card lovely display of colours and design xx
The white, embossed and very detailed background is stunning, Leslie. Love all of the pretty pastel colors and that cute chickie!
How joyful your inking is on the "Happy Easter" sentiment! What a great idea to highlight the top, and shadow the bottom, bringing dimension to the entire sentiment! Leslie, this is one beautiful card. My mind was playing with me through your darling chickie. "Wearing" her decorator egg shell - it looks like this chickie is going to pretend to be a duckling, and hop into the water, using the half shell as an inner tube! BTW, the gentle shading around the edges of the shell halves really makes the colors grab my eyes! BEAUTIFUL! I agree about your 3-D EF - it brings forth the burst of spring that most of the northern states are longing for just now. From just outside my craft room window, all the way up the hill to the top of the property, our azaleas are massively blooming in a host of colors! OH SO GORGEOUS and attracting lots of butterflies and pollinators! Our indigenous milkweed has died from the recent freezes. Fortunately, I had collected lots of seed pods when they burst open during the winter months, and Jacky planted them in the greenhouse. There is a bumper crop awaiting to be replanted. Since we are rural, it doesn't really matter how the front "yard" appears, so we have lots of potted milkweed along the sidewalk for the Monarchs and their lookalikes. In a few months, everything will be ready for the hummers and pollinators again. It makes me sad to no longer be able to take care of all the gardening, but I'm grateful Jack is now enjoying that part. It's fun looking at the tiny eco-systems in each pot. Well, I didn't mean to ramble so - your cards always awaken lots of memories and happy imaginative thoughts. Thank you! xx
This card is so adorable, Leslie! I love the sweet chick emerging from the egg. :) xx
Oh my gosh, what a sweet card. I love the white embossed background, it's so classy. And using patterned paper for the egg is genius, takes the whole thing to another level. Isn't that little chick just the cutest??
Hi Leslie, this is full of dimensional goodness. Love the crisp white background with pops of color in the foreground. I wanted to thank you for my birthday card. You were actually a day early! I sooooo appreciate your card. :)
So adorable, Leslie! Everything about it is just perfect!
