Paint yourself a Happy Easter

I have always loved colors and paints...just hate painting walls in my house!  Art was my major in high school and one of my majors in college.  I was born too early....I love computer, digital and graphic arts...no such thing back in 19...   haha

Easter Ants is one of Doodle Pantry's March releases....love'em!!!  I used the pre-colored version for my swing card.  I made all the cut files (paint bucket, paint brushes and clouds). With the help of some copics, stitching and pop-ups, I am happy with the results.

A2 size, also used Poppy Stamps grass die

used a bird charm and this is another way to display swing card

    This is adorable.
    I love the idea of the swing card and often want to do one but don't have the courage to whack into cardstock. Now if I had a template I would do it so maybe seeing yours I will go find a template and do one.
    You are such an inspiration. :)

  17. How sweet is this card - I love swing cards and all the extras in this card are stunning. I am working on a "challenging" Easter card using this image - haven't got it perfect just yet but soon.
