Hello - Easter eggs

I actually made this card last night, but was too tired to post it believe it or not.  I have been helping my best friend with caring for her Mother and now the family has intervened and that has actually caused a lot of chaos.  Now she has her niece and daughter in law that are making drama which isn't needed.  Obviously there are people who are jealous and intimidated that need to "stir the pot".  It's just that karma is ugly.
On a positive note, Easter is hopping closer and I kept this simple.  I used some punches and dies, one stamp and some flowers.

Hugs & Kisses

I have an Aunt that has her birthday on Valentine's Day and she is a mail carrier.  So I found that I had this pre-colored image in my stash Kaboodle Bug Designs that I got as a freebie YEARS ago.  I layered it and stamped the sentiment on it from My Favorite Things.

Wild for You

I couldn't help myself....I had to invest in the new Distress Oxide Inks.  For this card, I did blending of the Fossilized Amber, Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick and then sprayed water on top, heat it, and then stamped an image from Sweet and Sassy.  For the background, I put the three inks on my craft sheet sprayed water on that and ran my watercolor paper through it and heat it and repeated the process it several times until I got the final color.  Then I sprayed water on the top and heated that.  I stamped the sentiment which is from My Favorite Things.  It was a lot of fun.
