He Is Risen #3

Hi Friends!

This is another Easter card that I designed using the cross image from the retired Easter Morn stamp set (Stampin’ Up!). 

 I chose this image since it reflects the true meaning of Easter.   "Believe on the Lord, Jesus Christ, and you will be saved" Acts 16:31a.  I am so thankful that I accepted Christ as my Savior in 1996 and know that I will spend eternity with Him in Heaven.  Alleluia- What a Savior!!

I have created several different card designs with the same main cross image.  I will be posting them throughout the week and if you are interested, here are the other posts so far-  

He Is Risen

He Is Risen #2

I decided to create a Clean and Simple (CAS) mixed media card for the Less Is More #393 "Subtle Colours" Challenge.

I am also linking this card to the International Art & Soul #56 Easter Challenge and the Simon Says Wednesday “Anything Goes”Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge galleries yet, I encourage you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing tool, stamp the cross image with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

2). Once the embossing has cooled, color the cross image using water-based markers.  Fussy-cut the image and set aside.  (FYI- I stamped nine images on a piece of 8 ½” x 11” white cardstock, stamped and embossed the images before using the Brother Scan-n-Cut to cut out the images.)

3). Fold a piece of 4 ¼” x 11” piece of white cardstock in half for the card base.  Use a score board to score lines on the front of the card panel at 1 ¼”, 1 ⅜”, 3 ⅛ “ and 3 ¼”.  It is a bit difficult to see the score lines in the photo but they are there :-)

  

4). Mount the cross image using dimensional foam.

5).  To finish off the card- use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the petals, cross and dove.  Add white highlights to the flower centers with a white paint pen.
