TCC152 He Has Risen!

 

Hi Friends! 

Welcome to The Card Concept #152 {Celebrate Easter} Challenge!

What a fabulous Easter/Spring tiered tray! I love all of the different elements, bunnies, carrots and textures!

I was inspired by the neutrals as well as the colors and that fabulous “He Has Risen” block on the bottom tier to create a Clean and Simple/Classy and Elegant layered card!

In celebration of Easter Week and Resurrection Sunday, I wanted to create a card reflecting the true meaning of Easter and pulled out several stamp sets, dies and accessories from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store for the design.  

I am linking this card to the Simon Says Monday Easter/Spring Challenge and the Watercooler Wednesday WWC312 “Helen’s Challenge: All About Occasions” and the Word ArtWednesday #485-#486 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit The Card Concept, or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all! 

To create this card:

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the cross image from Easter is for Jesus and the sentiment “He Has Risen” from the He Has Risen stamp set with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared panel, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, die cut the cross with the coordinating die from the Easter is for Jesus Bundle and the sentiment using the Fishtail Sentiments Banner Dies.

Repeat the same steps above to heat emboss the floral image from Floral Clusters-Summer Roses and die cut with the coordinating die. 

Watercolor the cross and floral image using water-based markers.

Emboss a piece of white cardstock with a sheet music embossing folder, trim to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”. 

Add a strip of 2" Raschel Peach Lace and a piece of 1/2" Dusty Olive Seam Binding Ribbon over the top edge of the lace, wrapping the ends of both behind the panel.  

Adhere the die-cut floral image and mount the entire background panel to a white card base.

Add the cross die cut and sentiment with dimensional foam (or chipboard).   

Finish off the card with a few pearls in the upper left-hand corner and center of the flowers.
