Pastel Easter Card

This Easter Card has been created using the following:

Square Aperture Card - mine was created using square dies and then I cut a smaller square aperture in black to line around the square card aperture.

Happy Easter Stamp - stamped with Pearlescent Poppy
4 sweet pink gems
Pastel ribbon
Card button - mine was cut using a button punch
Pastel Butchers string
Pale yellow striped paper
Pale Blue square of paper

I started with the aperture of the card and then measured a smaller black border to edge the aperture. This made the pastel colours appear with more contrast. 

On the inside of the card I used the pale yellow card to line the inner right hand side of the card. I just used glue strips to do this rather than liquid glue to prevent any warping or softening of the paper.

Using the aperture as a guide I added the small pale blue square which I had stamped with the Happy Easter wording. Once that was centre I fixed that in place before dotting each corner with glue and adding a pink gem to each corner.

You can buy gems with ready added glue backs if you prefer to use these.

On the front of the card I added a strip of glue and adhered my pastel ribbon. Once this was fixed down I strung my card button with a small amount of butchers string. You could either tie this in a bow or like mine, just string over the card. To keep it in place I used my glue gun to adhere the finished button to the card.

This is another simple but eye-catching pastel make - hope you enjoy!
