Side Step Easter Card

Happy Easter 

to those that celebrate!

This is called a "side step" card.

It folds flat and fits into a regular

invitation size (A2) envelope.

The instructions were found at

splitcoaststampers.com 

The stained glass stamp image is an old one from Stampin' Up!

I stamped it on water color paper with Versamark ink

then heat embossed it with black embossing powder.

The image was water colored in with inks from

my Stampin' Up! Classic ink pads and an aquapainter. 

I squish the closed lids onto the ink pads, flip them open

then use the aquapainter to lift ink from inside the lids

to water color with. 

Daffodil Delight card stock was run through a 

Cuttlebug embossing folder, Oriental Weave.

The larger Midnight Muse card stock piece was die cut

with a Scallop Rectangle Frame from Sizzix, 

The smaller was punched with an old punch from Stampin' Up!

(I'm unsure of the name, perhaps Modern Label?).

The larger white piece was die cut with a Sizzix/Stampin' Up! die, 

Chalk Talk Framelits.

The small white piece was paper punched with the old 

Word Window punch from Stampin' Up!

I lightly ran the edges of the white pieces across

a silver Encore ink pad before adhering them to

the Midnight Muse pieces. 

Sentiments from Everlasting Joy (?)

and Teeny Tiny Wishes, both from Stampin' Up!,

were stamped with 

Midnight Muse ink onto Whisper White card stock.

Thanks for looking =)
