I have just two more Easter cards to share. I think I'm finished making Easter cards this year. The chick image was another one of those stamps from the $1 bin at Michael's.

My husband isn't too crazy about my first card, he say's it too plain, but I kind of like it. I stamped the image and then colored with my SU markers.

I added a small flower in the upper right hand corner to sort of help off set the sentiment. I also didn't want to add any ribbon on this card, I was trying to keep the postage down on this one. My sentiment is from a studio G stamp set.

I followed a sketch challenge from Splitcoast stampers to make my second Easter card. I'm not quite sure that I like this card, I sort of think I have too many colors going on here, but I thought I would post it anyway.

Again, I stamped my image and colored it using my SU markers. I embossed my white card stock using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. I also added some paper piercing along the edges of my Tempting Turquoise layer.
