Stamping with Julie Gearinger: Easter Grace

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing another spring card using the Grace and Seasonal Wreaths- Spring & Summer stamp sets along with banner and wreath dies plus the Welcome Easter 6x6 Paper Pad by Echo Park (all from Stamp Simply).

I am still working my way through the Splitcoaststampers sketch challenges and I incorporated the SC272 Sketch into the layout.

I am also participating with the Word Art Wednesday #483-#484 “Anything Goes”Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to stop by the Stamp Simply blog yet, or the other the challenge sites, I encourage you to take the time to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Trim the pink striped patterned paper from the Welcome Easter 6x6 Paper Pad by Echo Park to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”, mount onto white cardstock and adhere to a white card base.

From the Welcome Easter 6x6 Paper Pad by Echo Park, trim a piece of the yellow plaid paper to approx. 1 ½” x 4”, adhere to white cardstock and add a layer of vellum over the yellow plaid.

Trim a piece of the pastel plaid from the Welcome Easter 6x6 Paper Pad by Echo Park to approx.. 3” square, mount onto white cardstock and trim close to the edge and adhere directly to the card front.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the wreath and floral images from the Seasonal Wreaths- Spring & Summer stamp set with pigment black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, color the floral image with water-based markers. Once satisfied with the coloring, die cut the wreath and floral image with the coordinating Seasonal Wreaths- Spring & Summer dies.

Repeat the above steps to stamp the verse sentiment from Grace , once the embossing has cooled, die cut with the Fishtail Sentiments Banner dies.

Adhere the sentiment banner directly to the card front, add the layered yellow/vellum layer to the card front (overlapping the sentiment a bit) and mount the wreath and floral die-cut image with dimensional foam.

Finish off the card with a few silver rhinestones.
