Easter Egg

 For: Mom and Dad
Occasion: Easter

To help the 'rents celebrate Easter (and to say thanks for a fresh batch of masks!), I created this elegant paper cut easter egg. The petals create the egg shape and a subtle light blue paper peaks through to reveal the shape! And it's sitting up on a yellow paper that is the same design of the light blue. I hope they had a great day and that the Easter Bunny was generous with chocolate and Mom's favorite Peeps!

Skyrim Easter

For: Mike
Occasion: Easter

 

Mike proposed recently (!!!), so as a combo Happy Easter/Thanks for the pretty ring, I made him an Easter basket with some of his favorite snacks, a basketball playing bunny and this card, which features a cat person character from Skyrim, which is a video game he's been really into lately. I never really get a good look at the character, but figured this cat-like archer was pretty close. To tie it all into the Easter theme, the cat is wearing bunny ears. I think this card is hilarious, and I'm glad Mike officially has a lifetime of ridiculous cards to look forward to.

Floral Egg Easter

For: Alex and Sarah
Occasion: Easter

To thank Alex and Sarah for hosting a fabulous Ring Easter dinner, I made a watercolor of a beautiful egg painted with bright red tulips. I paired it with some patterned backgrounds to complete the festive theme. I love how this card turned out and I'm so glad we got to celebrate Easter with family--looking forward to babysitting next week!

Herend Easter

For: Helena and Steve
Occasion: Easter

Helena has a very impressive collection of Herend bunny figurines that she displays for Easter, so when she and Steve invited us over for Easter dinner, I created this card featuring one of the figurines as a thank you. The figurines are handprinted and really pretty astonishing. They look like this:

It was so lovely seeing the Rings; I can't wait for the next holiday gathering!

Easter Egg

For: Christy and Nathan
Occasion: Easter

The Twin and Nathan were kind enough to host me over Easter (let alone each set up two scavenger hunts for me!), and all I got them was this card. I used a wax candle to sketch out the egg and then added the watercolors on top. I love the look of the card, but I love them more!

Bunny Pile Easter

For: Mom, Dad, and Amy
Occasion: Easter

I got to go home for Easter, and I wanted to share my joy with the family by making them an Easter card! The only logical choice for such a celebration is a pile of brightly colored bunnies stacked on top of one another. The card is playful and fun, and I had a great time seeing the funny bunny family.

Bunny Bonnet Easter

For: Christy
Occasion: Easter

Christy's Easter card features a bonnet-wearing bunny. The blue, orange, and yellow of her ensemble are a take on Christy's favorite colors, and I think this design turned out really great!

I hope the twin has a great Easter!

Easter Puppy

For: The Currys
Occasion: Easter

The Currys have an adorable puppy named Roxy who gets featured in most of their cards from me. For their Easter card, she's wearing a bunny ear headband and has found four eggs!

I miss the Currys a lot (and Roxers!) and hope they have a nice day.

Peep Easter

For: The Lombard Walshes
Occasion: Easter

Mom loves Peeps and always has them in the house at Easter. For my family's Easter card, I featured three of the marshmallow treats (Amy in yellow, Mom in pink, and Dad in blue). I hope they have a fun celebration and know that I like them a lot more than I like Peeps.
