Celebrate Easter + Dance Stage

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! Can you believe it's already the last day of March? This month just flew by! (I wish I could say the same for the pollen.) And now Easter is just around the corner. For my Easter card, I paired this beautiful new Celebrate Easter greeting w/ the Lily Cross & the Stained Glass Oval. I know the rectangle version would have worked better, but the oval is the one  I have 😃 I kept the colors neutral & the layout clean & simple to let the images shine. First I put the cross into my Misti & stamped it w/ desert sand. After lightly coloring it w/ Copics, I overstamped it w/ metallic gold ink then heat embossed it w/ gold powder. I did the same to the frame, coloring in just a few areas. 

In real life, the gold embossing is really pretty. You can see it a bit in the pic below.

Here's a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

And....apparently I'm not done with this cutie Ballerina from last month. For Monday's challenges on Splitcoast, one was to do "no line" coloring & the other was things with wings. I'll tell you...this little missy was a toughie to no line. She's so little it was hard to keep her facial details.

I no lined her by using desert sand ink, colored her, then masked her & stamped the butterfly w/ lt blue & colored it. I was so impressed by Nancy's card HERE & the floor she drew that I added a drawn floor. The curtains were dry embossed, cut out & added on top. I've had this folder for quite awhile & had forgotten about it until I made this. Made for each other, I'd say.

Here's a look at the inside. I used the folder again on the lower inside. Below it are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
