A step by step styled process video showing me create a pair of Easter cards using some self made foam stamps and die cut elements.

I start by creating the background paper for the cards. I first add some acrylic paints to a piece of cardstock using a brayer. After drying the layer I then add stamping on top using a set of self made foam stamps. I have made them using die cut shapes out of EVA foam, layering several on top of each other getting thus a bit more height to the stamp. I also color a piece of cardstock yellow using inks. I die cut birds out of the colored cardstock and snip off their long tails to make the birds more chick-like. I also add some text to a pair of white die cut circles and color some stems and leaves for the cards using inks. I then build the main composition using the circle, a chick and the stems. I add a sentiment to each card and finish the pair with some epoxy stickers.

Thank you for watching!
