Happy Easter
>> Tuesday, March 1, 2016
Hi Everyone,
March is officially here and that means Easter is coming up soon. Like end of this month soon...And I hope the weather is warm enough to see some early flowers popping up :) If not, I can always rely on some lovely spring time flower stamps to bring in the cheer!
I was going to feature the Happy Easter Cross on my card today, but I had also colored the Easter Lily and Crosses Oval stamp. Instead of using them separately, I worked it out and fit them both on the same card, using one as the sentiment. The were both die cut and colored with different Copic markers, so I challenged myself to make a background that would tie the two together.
I chose to make a splattered watercolor background using yellow, green and purple dye ink, by inking up a piece of plastic and spraying it with water. I then smooshed my paper all over and let it dry before running it through my Cuttlebug in a dogwood flower folder.

I added a scrap of yellow card stock to the bottom and a purple ribbon covers up the seam. I finished it by adding some glitter to the flowers and 3 matching gems.
Happy Easter & Happy Spring!

What a beautiful card! Love the background you made with the "smooshing" and embossing!!
Beautiful, I love that bg too! Love the crosses with the shadows! What a great Easter card!
Karin, this is lovely! The images work so well together with this great sketch. I am in love with your shadows on the crosses and that stamped and embossed and smooshed background - that bg came out so well! Great card. Hugz
