That's all! Though this Easter Card might take a longer time to make but I'm sure that you will be very happy with the result.
I think I spent more time looking for the right tools and supplies than actually making this easter card.
You could also hand-draw running stitches around the card. I wanted to machine-stitch it but was too lazy to go set up my sewing machine.
