Easter Greetings - Try Stampin on Tuesday #594

 This card was made for the challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday #594.

The challenge can be singular or two fold ie. sketch only, or sketch with a topic, the topic being "Furry Friends".

I decided that I would do both - the sketch and the topic.  Since my card is an Easter card, I chose a goose as my furry friend, only technically a goose has feathers and not fur.

Instead of an A2 card, I made a 5 by 7" card.

First of all, I apologize for the lighting. 

This is my first Easter Card, and I chose a Retired stamp set "Fable Friends to make it.

The card base is Gorgeous Grape, layered with a Purple Posy coloured polka dot patterned DSP from the Sale-a-bration Dainty Flower DSP.  On top of that is added a Basic White cardstock layer embossed with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder.

An oval, die cut with a Layering Oval die from the Dainty Flower DSP , provides the backdrop for the mother Goose and her 3 gooselings. To provide a bit of texture for this oval background, I embossed it with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.

That same strip of DSP is extended onto the embossed layer on the front to provide a ledge for the goose egg to lay on. It was added to a piece of Gorgeous grape card stock, one edge of which was die cut with a zig zag border die 

The images were coloured with Stampin' Blends as indicated below.  Some Shimmery Crystal Effects was then added to certain parts of each goose/gosling.

Mother Goose:  So Saffron, Purple Posy, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie

Gosling 1:  So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple green

Gosling 2: So Saffron, Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie

Gosling 3: So Saffron, Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie

To finish the card, I added some Gorgeous Grape glossy dots on the left side.
